Jlerch 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) So, I was building the rc-cam4 system rc antenna (www.rc-cam.com/rc-cam4b.htm) using a piece of coax I found off an old 2.4ghz "Spektrum" RC radio transmitter antenna. I test fit everything before I went at it with the cutting instruments. After turtle necking the ground shield, I grabbed the ohm meter to check my work, and crud, the female threaded section doesn't have a male center post. So, I thought I had an SMA connector on the coax, but I guess they make more than one version? Is there a Wiki / Faq / or something detailing a simple way for a darn new guy like me to navigate the connector waters? Thanks again, James Oh wait, looks like I got a "Reverse Polarity" connecter, which really isn't "reversed" it just has different center pin orientations. So, knowing that, can I just fab a "male to male" center pin to go between the two, or should I start scrounging for another piece of coax with the proper end on in?

Those darn little connectors are harder than Hades to work on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
