Yep - I even put a 2" piece of heat shrink over the cover and zip ties to make it neater and maybe help insulate from vibration, etc.
I cut that away this morning to see if maybe something slipped and maybe fractured the lead but no.
I don't have a scope so I'll just desolder and redo in the next couple of days when i get a chance. I used a pair of hemostats around the pad as heatsinks so I don't think I burned up a trace? We'll see.
I was attempting to avoid adding an additional connector in line as Bj had on his images by going directly into the aerial lead, maybe that caused a problem too.
Regardless, this piece, as cheap as it is, is worthless to me if I can't get it connected to a decent antenna so I'll work on that this week
