I recently ordered my Hermes Lite 2, filter board, IO board and case from MakerFabs. It came in yesterday and I was very surprised to see that the IO board was equipped with RP-SMA connectors. I'm not sure if this is an error but I would feel that many ham might not notice that and use a standard SMA jumper.

I have ordered replacement connectors for mine and have no issue soldering them. Going by the amount of copper in the board, I might be using the low-melt solder to remove them!2025-01-14 14_36_04-Photo - Google Photos.jpg

Please contact Makerfabs about this issue. They will rectify it for you, probably by sending some adapters.

I confirm. I received my board already. Wow, I have not expected it, but it's nice to have two :-)
