Thanks. I tried again and it came apart easily. There is an O-ring but no glue. (I wonder why I didn't get it the first try.) The antenna isn't a patch. (Or I don't recognize it as such.) It's a cylinder, 2 inches tall, 3/4 inch in dia, sticking up over a 2 inch square PCB that's screwed into an aluminum base place. It's made of flexible PCB material wrapped around to make a cylinder. The outside bottom 3/4 inch is a plane. There is an obvious solder joint line closing the plane. The inside top has 4 fingers spiraling around at 45 degrees. The lower inside part (opposite the plane) has some wiggles in some traces, but I haven't figured out the equivalent circuit. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
