2.4 GIG ANTENNA REPAIR

JULY 2009 // Issue #164

If you are running 2.4 GHz technology and your pivoting transmitter antenna loses its pin and flops around, don't have to start ordering parts for a complete replacement. A small pair of cap head screws will take the place of your lost pin and hold your antenna with authority. You'll have to check your specific antenna for the best screw size, but once you find the right screws simply thread them into place and you're ready to rip up the track again.
