Connector on Pyronix Digi-GPRS

[Mark Priest]

HI All.

 

long time no post..... 

Does anyone know what the aerial connector is on a pyronix digi-gprs board?

I need to extend it as the lead on the included aerial is woefully short!

 

Thanks.

The Connector is a MMCX

Same as a dualcom or new RC Essential antenna connector

Usual problem your siganal must be alot better in the other position as an extension lead will drop a good percentage of the gained signal

have you tried a dualcom antenna, longer lead on an antenna always will beat a plugged extension.

sorry just noted this is an open topic so may have gone a little too deep with a techie reply

Thanks Barnsnake

 

Actually managed to get hold of CSL who make the units for Pyronix who told me they were a MMCX. I meant to come back here and reply. They do a High Gain external antena just in case anyone needs one. I've purchased an extension for the time being which has given me 2 bars of signal instead of 1, but I'm still having issues logging in. I can log in on the app fine, but when trying to use the desktop software it connect, but seems to fail trying to open the socket.
