Hi all,

I ordered a set of Pagoda v2 antenna PCB's on JLCPCB. Got the gerber files from Maarten Baert's website (link). Set the right thickness (1.0mm), 3d-printed the jig, made my first one using the required RG402 coax cable. This all went fine untill... The antenna doesn't perform that well! Sad

When doing a continuity test between the coax core and the coax shield, I get a continuity beep. On my other ready-made Pagoda antennas there is not. Please see the image below and let me know: should there be continuity between these leads on the top PCB? Or did I get a PCB production fault? 

Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
