Dave and any other RF experts. Is there and reason that the connector could not be deleated by soldering. The wire appears to be sheilded and if so is it nessary.

Jerry,
That I could not answer. I just put it back together the way it came, I doubt any of the reps would tell you its ok to delete that fixture though.

Dave,

How did you run the wire from the 2.4 antenna thru the ball base? did you drill a hole thru the aluminum adapter that came with the 2.4 conversion? how difficult is it to remove the 90deg connector from the wire?

do you have pics inside the Ball base antenna on where you routed the wire?

Thanks,

Harold.

Looks great dave !

How do you fit the module into the back of the Tx with the antenna plug sticking from the upper side of the module case?

Yes I ran the antenna wire through the ball base and yes I drilled the hole all the way through the aluminum adapter. Not very difficult to remove the 90deg connector from the wire, but you need a soldering iron with a very small tip to fit inside. Take the screw out of the back of the 90deg fitting and the connection will be exposed, test if your soldering tip will fit inside. The brass is crimped as the wire goes into the 90deg fitting, this can not be removed without breaking. Just go ahead and let it break, and just re solder it when you are done.

please see pics that show how the case was relieved to fit the plug.
