Hello. That should be a cable problem because if the other cable works fine must be a problem in the cable. Try, when the cable is connected, to move a little bit the connectors to see if that can be a bad contact and try to see where the problem is. The cable can be very good outside, but if inside has someting broken it wont work.

Thanks for the fast replies. I removed the slipcovers from the connectors - looks also fine to me. I put some contact spray on them and will test again - I'll keep you posted.

Hi Michael,

thanks for looking for the cable. Yes it is the one I need. I tried everything to get one here, but the local distributers told me it would take them at least 2 weeks to get one here. In the meantime I could borrow another system, even though I don't like to mix data of different systems. In a few days I'll be on my way to Tanzania, where a colleague of mine promised me to bring a cable he just organized today in Germany.

Thanks  - also to the others who replied on my post!

Hello Guy,

One day I was working and atenna cable stopped working. It was loose inside the protective 

plastic. You can look at this. See the photos!

Hi Savio,

yeah I had removed the protection completely - and I have done it again after your post. The connectors seems ok to me, I adjusted them a little bit and put it all together again - but still nothing.

Thanks for your post and the pics, I appreciate it really.

Felix

Hi Arnaud,

thanks for replying. This offer would have been great a week ago, but our stay in the UAE is finished tomorrow and my colleague organized another cable already yesterday in Germany and will bring it to the next survey.

Next time something is wrong with a cable I will send a message directly to you.

Thanks,

Felix
