Hi,
We use a standard hot glue gun... then you can get it back off if you
have to, but it holds until then. :)

Short term solution , kinda costly though, is use jb weld while the
piggy is plugged into the card on your work bench and the next day you
will have a permanantly affixed pigtail on that card.
Im pretty positive the piggy won't be coming loose.
I did this to a couple of cm9's a year ago and no problems.

Basically, we can't get them to stay on the SR9, in a WAR board,
because
there's only 2 positions a pigtail will fit, and both are "stressed"
due to
the pigtail's attempting to revert to the pre-installed shape (curled
up in
a bag...).

Excellent detail to bring up. Sounds like a fastener/tiedown problem to
me.

Subject: [WISPA] Grrrr... pigtails
Thanksgiving day, my son and I put up a future customer's CPE up in
the
woods. I mean, up in the mountains, log cabin, beyond phone and
power.
They have a generator, batteries, solar panels, etc. We did it because
snow
was predicted and already a little bit had fallen. We got it there,
link
established and was working on aiming the antenna when the laptop ran
out
of
power. The power plug on the laptop PSU had broken and, well... we
were
dead.
The people got back a few days later, and by then, yes, quite a bit of
snow
had fallen. When we had the chance to go back and finish ( plug the
power
in inside, hook up thier equipment) we had no signal.
We tried everything we could think of, short of changing parts,
because
we
didn't take any (wasn't our install rig, just a 4x4 so we could get
through
the deep snow), no signal.
Yesterday, after a few days of warm, we drove in ( this time, install
rig,
my '89 Caravan ) digging through some deep snow going in the canyon
between
them and the main road.
Eventually, we changed every part, including the WAR board and SR9, no
signal. Then, I assembled the WAR we took out and all the parts
changed
out, and standing there, on the ground... I had a solid link.
Finally, in pitch black dark, I climbed the ladder, had someone
provide
some
light, and hooked up the SR9 through another pigtail to the
anntenna...
POOF, signal.
Put the original back on... Poof, signal. then, none. Work the
pigtail
around so it's not tensioned and in line and put it back on... Poof,
signal.
I go inside, log in...and in a minute or so, watch the signal fade to
nothing.
T urns out our low loss u.fl to n-female pigtails with the thicker
coax
in
the cold will revert shape and pull themselves off the cramped SR9
/ WAR
board combination.
I found one of the crapola thing things I had rejected for 5 ghz
use and
put
it in place... Yeah, 1 or 2 db loss in the piggy, but it stayed on...
Anyone make a low loss pigtail that's flexible even in the cold? I
tried
two different ones, one pacwireless, one is Roger's, I think. Neither
could
be convinced to retain a new shape in the cold...
