MK58 antenna issue

Richard Quackenbush · Jul 18, 2020

Good Morning
There is a brass connector at the end of the MK58 that requires a very different fitting in order to screw the Yuneec Square antenna to the box. do you have this fitting and can I buy one from you. I have search now for a very long time an cannot find them. Evan if I had the spec`s it would help me chase it down. Can you help please.

Thank you so much

Thanks again.

Richard,
Can you provide pictures of the MK-58 connector, and pictures of the antenna you want to use? If you have measurements on them, that would also be helpful.

Here are different kinds of SMA antenna adapter: Amazon.com: SMA Adapter Kits SMA Male Female WiFi Antenna Extension Connector Pack of 15 …: Home Audio & Theater

But why do you wand to use the patch antenna for the MK58? It has a narrow angle of radiation pattern. In normal position it looks straight down. When the drone is away from you you will lose connection very soon. I would not do that.

I tried to remember which cable I got when I modded mine. Seems ebay only stores history back to 2018 and I know I had bought it long before that so I could not find my purchase but I do believe this cable is what will help you out. I ended up mounting my antenna off to the side. It worked great for me.
