Hello, i just purchased a Raspberry Pi GPS hat https://www.adafruit.com/product/2324
I see there is an adapter cable to convert from u.FL to SMA. Is there a way to solder on an actual SMA connector for a more positive connection?
Thanks,
Nick

Nick,
These connectors are not meant to be soldered. However, I understand your need for a stable connection. I would connect the antenna and going around it with a minimal amount of crazy glue to get a strong connection that will not pop off.
