Hi, Snowy,

SMA is probably too big.  SMC, SMB, MCX or MMCX connectors might work.  However, the vast majority of PLL problems with the Paragon are poor solder joints or VCO misalignment.  Most people reflow the solder joints on both boards.

  Has anybody ever changed the plug in mini coax connectors on the PLL 
ref/major and minor loop pcb,s.Reason for asking is that it seems that the 
centre contacts are very hit and miss.I had been looking at the bigger versions 
as fitted to the Omni and others, they are more substantial or changing them 
for sma types.Just a thought in the hope that may be the answer to my PLL out 
lock message.cheersSnowy
