Well, I had a nice little mishap today and found one of my 2 dongles had a cold solder joint on the SMA connector. While unscrewing coax off the connector, the SMA on the dongle literally slipped into my hand and fell completely out of the casing. Upon examining the connector, it was clear that it was never properly soldered in the first place. This is actually worse than a cold solder joint. 4 of the 5 pins on the connector hadn't even been soldered at all, including the middle pin. I guess this would explain why I was getting poor receive when I posted this thread last year.
