Title: cm15a F conector mod
Post by: drmiphesto on November 28, 2007, 09:51:30 PM: I cannot even begin to explain how ticked off I am. I went out and spent over $120 on tools to do this mod, followed the instructions exactly, and now my cm15a has 0 RF range - I mean none at all. Any ideas on why this is? Does anyone have one already modded that they want to sell?
