I will triple check but I would say yes. I had read when building the tuner to double check these and did my best to make sure these were correct. I left off the power antenna connection as I do not need it. Since it would not be connected I would assume that this would be ok, also instructions said I could leave it off if it is not going to be used?

So then if there are connections that are crossed then the tuner would still work?

I think the best way to describe my issue that it sounds like it goes in and out of "stereo".

I am going to redo my antenna connection on the PCB and while I am at just going to go ahead and replace my antenna cable since they are inexpensive.

Maybe I have a cold solder joint on the antenna???
