[aprssig] TH-D7A SMA connector

[Tim Cunningham]

Update!

The antenna connectors I ordered from partstore.com arrived today for my D7A. It took a few minutes to remove the old one and install the new one with little effort. My D7A broken antenna connector has now been repaired and restored to normal operation. The connector worked perfectly.

Thanks to Ron and those all those who have posted to the various sig's in the past that contained part numbers and information on their experiences. The "partstore.com" source was a new one that I ran across in my search using the part number and my experience with them has been extremely good.

  I searched the D7A sig archives and found E04-0407-05 which is replaced by E04-0407-15 or least most places I could find it listed this alternate replacement part number to replace the obsolete part number.

          It finally happened to me, I dropped my TH-D7A and the female SMA antenna connector broke.

          Does anybody know of a source to purchase the SMA antenna connector for the TH-D7A?




      Thanks Ron. After I found the part number, I did some digging and found some for $7.95 from "partstore.com" online. This site has parts for many other things as well and I was delighted to have found it. Just enter the part number and it seems to find it. The parts (ordered spares just in case) are on the way, so I will see if they work. This seems to be a great site in finding parts for other radio equipment as well. The parts on this site were about 38% less cost than some of the Ham stores I checked and the shipping charges were about 16% less. The real test is to see what I get for the TH-D7A replacement antenna connector when the replacement connectors arrive this week.
