Dumper780 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hello to all, purchased a MARK VII+AC TACTICAL and had it sitting around and hadn't tried it, due to a health issue..I'm back lol and getting it set up. I realized I am missing 1 antenna. The MK7AC had both antennas in pouch the Pinapple main unit had 2. I had a serious delay in delivery and after I recieved it, I was ill and never checked it right away. Can some provided a link or information about the antennas that I could get a replacement for the correct one? Went though the box and literature and all I can get is that it's a high gain anntenna. I just want to make sure I get the right one. thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution dark_pyrro Posted March 14 Solution Share Posted March 14 The original ones should be 5 dBi omni directional 50 Ohm RP-SMA and designed for 2.4 GHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumper780 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Thank you, I just found the info card that was in the box. It listed 3 RP-SMA antennas. I recieved 2. This info helps, I want to make sure they were all the same. I will use your info to find the correct replacment. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 You could try to get in contact with official support and see if it's possible to get the missing antenna. There are no guarantees, but you could always ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumper780 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I appreciate that. Unfortunately, the delay in shipping and the delay in opening up my package, put me past the the 60 day reporting limit and won't let me file an inquiry. It's fine, I'm happy the order showed up. I had a larger order, so if I'm only missing 1 antenna, I'll take that loss. I am still new to this and taking in all the information and practicing and learning. Thanks for the help, I'll order one today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumper780 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Secondary question, Are the MK7AC antennas and Pineapple antennas the same? I don't want to mix them up and affect performance, in case they are different. I don't see any markings or info on the antennas themselves.

The MK7AC ones are designed for 5 GHz for sure, but there's no guarantee the 2.4 GHz ones are even if it would be possible. I don't have the MK7AC myself, I use another 5 GHz adapter with the Mark VII, so I don't know in which way the antennas might differ physically. If there aren't any distinct ways to tell which one is for the Mark VII or the MK7AC, then perhaps discretely "tag" some of them, or put some colored tape (or such) on them. The antennas on the 5 GHz adapter I use are very easy to identify because of shape/design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
