[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1003005, member: 176704"] makle Have you not got some form of multi-meter? If not then you should certainly get one (less than £15 for something basic & reasonably decent, like [URL='http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-domestic-multimeter-including-battery-bulb-and-fuse-tester-n20ax']this [/URL]- although there are many others. Just make sure it is marked as meeting the EN/IEC 61010-1 Class II safety protection category, as most are except those around £3-5!) as you can then check yourself (and it has lots of other uses too). Also, the blocker might be simply a capacitor, and not a diode - in which case there will be no DC continuity in either direction, and that would explain why there is no diode symbol on it. Simple answer is "Yes" because you need the SMA/F adapter between the input terminal of the SSA module and the DC Blocker ! Physically can't fit together any other way! [/QUOTE]
