BG2GNF However, the sub-pin of the K5 seems quite long; perhaps it could be used? Are there any methods to test its suitability?
BI4PMQ BG2GNF You can try it; just don't transmit anything. Since you're only receiving from ISS, it shouldn't matter.
BG2GNF BI4PMQ Thank you for your response. I don't have time to order another one right now, it's so frustrating...😭The only option left is to try soldering it on.
BG5VQE The SMA connectors are prone to failure, so it's a good idea to buy extra ones as spares. Be sure to carefully check the specifications when purchasing.
HeyCharlie I previously purchased a small Yagi antenna, which came with an extra connector. The center conductor inside that connector needed to be adjustable, but this made it difficult to connect the antenna to my K5 radio; I could only attach it in reverse.
