[WISPA] soldering radio's
Anyone here have experience soldering connectors on to Motorola Canopy radios? Id like to start doing my own soldering and cant figure out where to solder the center conductor and grounds for these. There are 3 points where the integrated antenna attaches to the PCB and Im pretty sure that the top solder point is the center conductor but I dont know if the other two are for the ground or what.

Making that modification would likely take the radios out of certification.

RE: [WISPA] soldering radio's
There are 380mw radios, Id like to stick a 15db omni on one and see what it does. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC 114 S.

Re: [WISPA] soldering radio's
Hey Kurt. I am curious. What are you soldering and why/purpose? Can't you get connectorized and attach an omni? Why solder?

Steve, I could not have said it better myself.

Re: [WISPA] soldering radio's
Even so, it has to be built before it can be certified. We'll just have to assume that this is for testing and he'll have Moto's and the FCC's approval before he uses it. Because like you said, this is not a place where we talk about breaking the FCC rules. I know I wouldn't want the FCC enforcement team tracking me down.

RE: [WISPA] soldering radio's
I am officially cancelling this thread. Illegal modification of radios is not a topic that needs to be discussed on WISPA list servs. I suggest Kurt work directly with Motorola with his plans of modification. If he feels he has a good idea, he should consult with a patent attorney as well as the FCC. He may have some good ideas that may result in a better product, but this is not the place to discuss it. Anyone wishing to discuss this more, take it offlist.
