I have a astro saber 3 with a broken sma pin. How easy is this to replace ??? what parts should I order from Mother M ??

Any help would be great

Mike: FWIW, someone posted a note here earlier this year that the SMA connector is designed for no more than 500 put on/remove cycles and then it's finished/done/unreliable.

Which, despite the SMA's possible RF loss superiority, makes me wonder why they didn't just stay with a BNC connector...
