I have completely snapped off (and lost) one of the receiver antennas from my FrSky X8R receiver. How would I go about replacing the wire? I know this particular model has plastic things on the ends of the antennae (which get in the way and help to snap off the wire in case of a crash landing!!!) I have Googled but can't find anything of relevance on replacing the wire?
I believe length of wire or unshielded portion of the wire is important? 31mm for 2.4Ghz?
I also expect I will need to replace the other antenna wire to match?
If it is possible, what type of wire would I need to look for? Does diameter matter? I can solder, so fixing it back on shouldn't be a problem.
Cheers,
Tim.
Update: Have just seen these on the Hobbyking site... would I just chop the ends of and solder on? the current remaining antenna is approx 14cm from tip to the pcb connection.
