Hi Folks,
so ... I have received my new M3 (arrived within 2 weeks in the UK, which is good).
...BUT... there's no IPX antenna socket in the new board layout.

As mentioned in another topic, the in-built chip antenna is as useful as a chocolate teapot.
I can connect only if I place the M3 on top of the Access Point.
The AN6520 is a waste of board space (and makes the AP6212 useless).

Sales @ friendlyarm said that I could remove the chip antenna on the board to install an external antenna.

I have NO idea at all how to do that, or what the wiring points are.

Help!

best regards
Lawrence

Hi,
You can refer to my image.



thank you!

Hi there,
many thanks -- this picture is exactly what I needed.
The surgery is a little fine for my clumsy fingers, so for now I'll leave the M3 sat on the access point.
When I do need the M3 to work at range, I'll just have to be careful with the soldering iron

many thanks & happy year of the rooster
Lawrence
