Rob, is this for your Spektrum ?
I'm almost sure the spektrum uses a coxail type antenna. Send it in before you damage it more.

I sent in my JR RS300 reciever because the antenna pulled completely out. (My fault)

Sent it on a Monday to Horizon. They called on Wednesday said they got it and it was fixed. They installed a new antenna and said the total with shipping to get it back to me was $8.00. I got it back on Friday all in the same week.

For $8.00 send it to Horizon.

you got lucky I guess... I sent out my spektrum receiver on the 12th they got it on the 15th, they didn't check it in till the 18th, and they havent even had anyone look at it yet, and they dont expect it to be looked at, and repaired till the 25th, THEN they are going to send it back to me. I'll be lucky to get it back all in the same month I guess. So much for getting a good bashing in before school starts.

When I sent in my spektrum RX's a while back it took a week but that was for a software upgrade. dunno how you guys are riping the antenas out of your sprktrum RX's because they are a silly short 8" to begin with and you can cut them down to 4" without any signal loss at all.


I had my spektrum open at one point and the antena looked to be plain wire sodered to the PCB just like any RX I've seen except the wire was thicker then most RX wires.

20ft of range is about as much as I got with no antenna at all.
