I wonder - was it the new card, or the antenna direction that fixed
it ? With an extremely narrow 8 deg beamwidth, you could easily miss
everything due to mispointing...

yes I'm currently using a long pigtail type thing made of TV coax as a temporary measure
while I get used to this antenna. I'm sure an LM400 cable with adaptor would just rip the
sma socket connection right off the card ha ha.


Sounds like you understand what you are doing, but it's possible that
your first attempt was a combination of off-target pointing and cable
loss combined.
