I saw that also. What’s the hole for?

In an earlier photo it showed to be populated with a tamper-resistant TORX screw.
Looking at an older photo it looks like there is a screw that is supposed to be there.

Maybe the C1 cap is supposed to be there.
I think that is the hole where you charge the RTC battery? :evil:
It's to vent the steam, NO MORE SOGGY WAFFLES!

Well, it has been around since the Clinton era... coincidence? Let's ask Monica Lewinsky.
Ok, I looked at the picture on the other link and it has a screw installed. Does the final version have it or just the hole. Not sure if the pic on the other link was a test model.

A couple of my 800MHz RS antenna's look like that also but still work great. I was able to score 20 of those antenna's for $5 each when my local Radio Shack closed.
No screw on production units we were advised.

Yep. I have had a couple of them since the Pro-96 days and they still work great even with a little bend to them. I also have a few VHF-UHF rubber ducks that I can swap them with should I need better coverage in those ranges.

That theory could be verified by grounding the antenna input to see if the signals are still received.

Maybe the beta and pre-production models had some extra security to discourage disassembly or provide some evidence of tampering... the board design may not have been finalized and certain components may not have been encapsulated with epoxy, etc.

Doesn't look like it would meet the JIS4 (IPX4) standards now that the screw is missing.

Is that wiki correct, I couldn't find the first patent and the second seems to refer to fiber laser?

SMA/BNC adapters are notorious for damaging SMA antenna connectors if there is any bend or strain on the connection. That RS antenna looks a little top-heavy on the adapter there, also wondering about the water-resistant antenna seal gasket and if it is still employed once after market antennas are connected via adapter? Is it a seal only with the stock antenna, or is the gasket inside the main port and seals once a fitting (adapter) is tightened? Just curious...

The buttons on the keypad look to be slightly raised from the operating platform, if so, I love the keypad layout and the fact that they are lighted! Also, there is a pronounced little knob on the '5' button - what is that for? A reference point like a calculator? Again with the curious questions hah....
