And I don't believe it makes trouble itself, despite it's not right, because when I shorted the antenna path to the internal one bypassing that antenna mux, it didn't change anything. I did see though that external antenna was always a good way, why I never got to the bottom of. Some days I would get great response from internal antenna and other days not, with same test situation. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhxugQACgkQOjLpvpq7dMr67ACfRdBiu1L2PLhp8bwnh2eeME27 lnIAn07iA27PPuZ5m3Y7Dv6uMYsN+xt0 =L1tv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
