Just to clarify for everyone, since I get a LOT of calls about this...
The VERT2400 antenna is BLACK and made out of PLASTIC. If your
"vertical antenna" is copper colored, then you do NOT have a vertical
antenna. What you have is the RIGID COAXIAL CABLE which comes with the
Quad Patch 2400 MHz antenna. This coax needs to be soldered to the
GREEN PCB with 4 squares on it labeled "Highgain Antennas 2.4-2.48
GHz". See the datasheet for the Quad Patch antennas for more info on
how to do this.
To reiterate --
The VERT2400 is BLACK PLASTIC
The VERT900 is BLACK PLASTIC
The VERT400/1200 is a thin BLACK WIRE ANTENNA
The copper colored rigid line is RIGID COAXIAL CABLE. It needs to be
soldered to the Quad Patch 2400, Yagi 1200, or Yagi 900 GREEN PCB
antenna which came with it.
Thanks,
Matt
