I was wondering if an open RF output (i.e. no antenna) would cause the Rocket M2 transmit stage to fail. Or would it be prudent to attach an RF load while the Rocket is powered up?

I would not like trashing a Rocket M2 unit just because it needed an antenna and I neglected to attach one while changing the firmware from airOS to BBHN.  Make sense?

It's obviously a bad practice. However I can tell you that I have done it, and it didn't appear to have a negative impact on the Rocket. Keep this to a minimum and I believe you will be fine. Andre, K6AH
