The posting on replacing CAB-1 antenna | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Gents,

I gave away a spare 27 MHz antenna on the Buy Sell. The person receiving it would like some pictures. I can do that, and I can sort of recall how I did it.

But didn't somebody have a well-written article with step-by-step pictures on the old OGR Forum? Did any of those make it to the new forum? I tried some searches, couldn't find it. I'm not opposed to re-inventing the wheel, but thought hey maybe somebody knows, its worth a shot. Don't spend hours, but if you do know where it is, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Michael

I don't have pictures, but I just mounted a BNC connector in the antenna hole and bought a "rubber duck" antenna on eBay. The wire that connects to the existing antenna is brought up to the center conductor of the BNC jack.
