My last flight pulled my whip antenna from my telemetrum, so I am going to put an sma connector on it. (itβs a β patchwork fix I am rather good at by now.) No use throwing away a 300.00 board cause of missing pcb trace...
I have decided to mount an antenna on the aft bulkhead so it is exposed at the apogee. I came across this and wondered if anyone has used one of these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Band-VHF-UHF-SMA-M-145MHz-435MHz-Antenna-for-Radio-YAESU-VX-3R-VX-6R-VX-7R-/171297005651?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Antennas&hash=item27e218e053 The other option are these whips. they are sma or pl259(which might be better...?_ 14.4β http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Gain-14-4-SMA-Female-Dual-Band-Antenna-for-BAOFENG-UV-5R-UV-5RA-UV-5RC/400638072298?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D23490%26meid%3D7a0bc47888e3483f8b4e54b3899e943f%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D10073%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131180602475&rt=nc 7.56β pl259 http://www.ebay.com/itm/10W-uhf-400-470mhz-black-short-car-amateur-radio-antenna-pl259-male-connector-/321260637411?_trksid=p2054897.l5665 sma http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMA-F-Dual-Band-UHF-Antenna-144-435MHz-for-BAOFENG-BF-666S-BF-777S-BF-888S-/131162111054?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Antennas&hash=item1e89defc4e cheap enough to buy all 3, but the stubby ducky would be good in my minimum diameter rockets that have almost zero room.. wondering if anyone has used them with any success and can advise on how they compare.
