Help with a VX150

[ki4rhh]

Recived in trade a VX150 with a broken SMA plug, the outer ground sleeve is broken and cause antenna ground and reception to be marginal at best, the antenna also wobbles pretty bad. Other then that the radio is in great shape little worn but dose put out power. Where do I buy and how do I replace that part, is it possible for me to fix easy? If not who would I even bring it to, and how much am I looking at. I know that it will need the SMA socket replaced, but that is it.

Thanks guys

First off, You need to be qualified..
but this can be taken care of by the famous "I took it to a repair shop" ;)

anyway.. SMA plugs are standard in 2.4 gig routers... you could find some at radio shaft...
If you can find one.. It will be as easy as opening up the radio, then unsoldering the old plug off the circuit board (VERY EASY) and soldering the new one in place.. closing it up and away you go!
