Think I've solved it myself. 480 views, no response :(. Added the external antenna, soldered it directly to the two solder points (Removed the original antenna first) without resistor. Drilled a hole in the rainsensor, so the antenna could be mounted outside the plastic. Went from no signal in RFXmg...

Ok, just found this link http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=134230, and have found that the bottom pin is GND. But the user "nlrb" connects the antenna's GND via a 100Ohm resistor. Question is why that resistor, is it nessessary?

Hi,

I need to move my PCR800, and by the looks of it, must add a better antenna. One question: Where to connect the new external antenna?, ie. Which solderpoint should the shield go to, and which should the mid lead be connected to?

Sure . Give me a couple of days

I've mounted similar contacts in my Velux windows. I drilled the holes in the frame without problems. But you're correct, there's not much space.
