The Yahoo groups will help, nobody has said they have NOT had their dongle repaired but Howard is very busy and travels a lot so it might take a while to contact him.

Another possibility is to contact a dealer who sells the FCD, they may be able to provide support. They SHOULD be able to!

Faults reported include bad connections to the antenna socket. Always use very flexible extensions for antenna and USB to avoid strain.

Robin, G8DQX:- There has never been a publicly available BOM nor circuit diagram available, either for the original FCD nor for the replacement/improved FCDPP.

For the Original FCD, there is a block diagram at http://www.funcubedongle.com/?p=471

For the newer FCDPP (serial number 10,000 up), there is a slightly fuller block diagram at http://www.funcubedongle.com/MyImages/FCD2BlockDiagram.pdf
