Hi Terry, Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. What gauge of wire would you recommend? I'm pretty ignorant about these types of things to be honest.
I wasn't planning on using a connector either, but I will have to remove the remaining bit of wire before putting the replacement on. I just wanted to ensure the whip antenna was nothing but a single wire soldered directly to the board and that I used a relatively "fit for purpose" wire for my antenna. hence my question about gauge. Any other specific wire recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
