Looking to do a dual CAT5 antenna mod to the PCB, but with two strands of wire, it won't fit through the hole on the PCB.
Should I solder the second strand a little higher up the first strand, and then solder the first onto the PCB, or am I missing something?
As an aside regarding this...would it be OK to take a single strand, double it over, and then twist it together and solder it on, or is that inviting signal cancellation?
Well I took 2cat 5 wires and twisted them and then I took another 2 and twisted them. I took both of them and twisted the ends together and then solder it on. I went from 8 feet to about 18. I can use it as a weapon now two...I did some soldering and put points on them....deadly weapons......here kitty kitty....mooooaaahhhhhhhh....Later
On my Zip Zap and both of my Bits, i solder on conductor into the board and then one about .1" up from the PCB board. It seems to work great for me. I am getting about 20~30 feet inside.
