I assume Mark is talking about the "black box" around the dipole
antenna where the antenna cable terminates, not anything within the
brick box itself.

It's probably a lot easier to open the little black box and take a peak at how the
cable is soldered at the antenna end. You could probably cut off the
excess at the antenna end a lot easier than crimping new connectors.
It's a very simple layout. The inner conductor is soldered to one
dipole and the shield is soldered to the opposite one. At least the
Flarm antenna was done that way and I'd be surprised if the PCAS
antenna was any different.

I haven't looked at the GPS antenna other than to remove the two magnets
which are hidden under the sticker.

I like the idea of removing the magnets, though - thanks!
