Antenna connection to box
« on: May 12, 2009, 04:50:21 PM »
Hi guys
Just a quick question how tight should the antenna connection be to the back of the box?

Cheers mark

No more than finger tight, ensuring the centre pin is pushed right forward

Cheers, the reason I ask is when I connected it finger tight I was receiving around 50 messages per second then when I loosened it a bit it went upto to the mid 100s

It is all down to what kind of connection you get from the centre copper coloured pin. If you find it gives better receiving with half a turn back then leave it there.

It is just not a good idea to take for example a small spanner to the nut and tighten until your knuckles go white :-)
