For many years I have tried to like my IC-R10, but the reception was just so bad that I always ended up putting it on the shelf and not touching it. Well, due to some recent discoveries I decided to pull it down and start looking over it again to see why it had such poor reception. Turns out that the male BNC connector was never soldered on the board correctly ( I got the thing used). And now I need some help.
Here are some pics of the board and where the BNC should be soldered (I already removed the bad solder that was not making contact). As you can see it is missing the copper contact (BNC should be soldered to a copper contact on the board). The brown bit (circled in red) is where the copper should be. Does anyone know how I can jumper around this? Any way I can re solder the antenna to the board?
