There has been several issus about this cabel/contactfault now, will weatronic do something about it?
Untill the fault is fixed, I will go for some other radiosystem!

RE: FATAL CONTACT/CABEL FAULT
Hi John,
we never had this problem for over two years now using DV3/DV4 on our two mx22 TX. But I must admit, that I would never do something like you did to the patch cable. If you do something like that with a network cable connection (RJ45/RJxx) you would also lost the connection. I am not sure if this cable would even withstand such a torture even if it soldered to the PCB...
Simply replace the patch cable with a new one, plug it firmly in at both ends (secured by that little hooks) and maybe secure it mechanically by binding it to the antenna socket holding the TX-module. I used a small velcro stripe for this. Works perfectly and looks OK.
It is definatley not ok to remove the module every time from your TX when transporting the TX in its transport case; just for the case you are doing this... THIS problem is known at Weatronic but they said at ProWing, that it is not planed to alter the connectors...
best wishes
Thomas

Hi John,
Just to be safe i brougt my cable to a TV repair shop to have the conductors soldered to the V-blades of the connector.
I have also secured the cable similar to what Thomas describes.
No problems here.

Jo

Looks to me like he's just moving the (rather flimsy)cable back and forth a bit.
The cable is a thin, three strand flat PCI-cable and is flopping about on the rear of the TX.
Weatronic really ought to come up with a sturdier solution here.
