Broken wire
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 9:48 pm
Hello
Recently got an RSP 2. Bit of a noob as regards amateur radio and especially SDR. I mostly want to do SWL with a bit of airband as well
I installed all the software and hardware ok. After a couple of days, the Antenna A connector came loose, and I couldn't tighten it up, despite my best efforts. I also noticed that reception was very poor to say the least. So I switched to antenna B and can get reception. Being a bit of a nosey sod, I couldn't resist taking the cover off the RSP. When I did, I found that the internal wire from the circuit board to the SMA had some how broken in two.
Can anyone advise how best to go about repairing the connector. I'm assuming its fairly straighforward, but not sure how to go about it
TIA
Phil
