Availability for permanent installation
« on: February 23, 2017, 09:01:47 pm »
Hi,

I'm very pleased with the PAW and I d'like to perform a permanent installation.
What about the availability of the GPS mouse and 3m Antenna Extension lead?

I look forward to reading you soon.

Kind regards,
Nicolas

Great idea Nicolas

Both are available now at pilotawarehardware.com and how to do it is described at pilotaware.com

Similar parts are available on ebay if pilotawarehardware is out of stock, e.g

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3m-SMA-Male-to-Female-Coaxial-Extension-Cable-WiFi-Router-Antenna-Aerial-75ohm-/391587193346?hash=item5b2c6a6202:g:eQwAAOSwmLlX97Qa

Just make sure it has both a male and female SMA connector on it.  Many of the leads you find are for different end connectors.   And if you can wait for 3 weeks they are even cheaper from China.

I've just bought a 1m cable as the 3m ones are far too long for my flexwing.

I dont think this is a goid idea
The coax we require is 50 ohm, this is 75ohm,
And r
The connectors are RPSMA - reverse polarity

Thx

Hello Admin,

My cockpit assembly is stuck due to non availability of 3m SMA extension lead.
Where can I find that kind of cable?
Not available on PAW website and no answer by mail.

I look forward to reading you quickly.

I noticed the same seller had SMA, and 50 ohm, cannot judge the cable quality

Thx

Thanks Lee. 

It would be useful if there were a definition of what cable specs (particularly Ohm and connectors0 are required in the documentation somewhere if the PAWhardware is out of stock or doesn't have the right lengths.

In the end I didn't buy that 75 Ohm one as it highlighted it being especially for Wifi and I bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391642426245 which was marginally more and highlighted suitability for satellite aerials which I thought was more relevant.   Anyway, will see what happens when it arrives.

That is another 75ohm cable.

Just Google '50ohm SMA extension'. I got hits for several lengths.
