Hi Alex, SMA Antennas for 200mw vtx

[vashdao]

Hi Alex, do you know where I can find spare SMA antennas like that used in the 200 mw small video transmitter you sell?

Thanks friend!

Kind regards, V

Which VTXR are you speaking of? 5.8Ghz?
A SMA connector would have to be soldered to the edge of the circuit board such as this:

Then you can attach an antenna (of proper SMA polarity) to the VTXR.

Hi, it's actually this one:

It looks like you just solder the antenna to it, right? This is for a mini quadcopter I'm building. Have any ideas where I can get an antenna like the one in the picture? Cause I lost mine so I need another spare. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance man.

Yep, it's just a piece of wire of set length (not knowing for I'm on 910Mhz) soldered directly to the circuit board. A drop of hot glue will add some strain relief so the antenna won't pull the copper solder pad off circuit board edge.

Make sure you still have something to solder it to. Make your own, just cut the wire to .47" or 1.2 cm
