Can someone with one of the new Hobbico antennas please check to see how it's
built? If you have a meter or continuity checker of some kind, test for
continuity from the antenna mast, first to the tip, then to the center ring,
and then to the ground of the stereo plug. Thanks.
As far as industry standards for using stereo earphone jacks as antenna
connectors, I wonder if there actually are any. It seems to me that there
would be mechanical difficulties in connecting the antenna mast to the tip of
the stereo plug and not to the ground. I think it would result in a weakness
at the joint.
