anode Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Kinda knocks out most other antennas. Glad I have adapters in house. (hope I have enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 SMA are more professional and higher grade. That's why we moved to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The radios are implemented on the board in such a manner that they'll actually take advantage of the connector change. I think it's worth it for the high gain. Can't wait to show you guys distance benchmarks between IV and V - even with just the stock antennas!

anode Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 SMA are more professional and higher grade. That's why we moved to them! I'm hard pressed to believe SMA is higher grade then SMA-RP. Now if you were talking changing families to MCX, MMCX, TNC, N, UHF, etc I might buy it depending on the freq. But with that said I had picked up SMA to SMA-RP connectors to do tests on the spectrum analyzer for some HAM radio and GPS antenna designs. So I should be set with the arsenal of antennas I already own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We got rid of the MMCX pigtail and went with SMA soldered right onto the board. There were reports of some flaky connectors with the MK4 that this solves. A conversation with Mike Ossmann regarding signals and the Hack RF (which also went with SMA over RP-SMA) led to this decision. If you have existing RP-SMA gear it should be adaptable no problem.
