Cut anthenna problem

[TwoFourty]

Morning everyone. Soas the tittle says, this morning i had my first fpv flight. I';ve decided to fly a few packs in stabilised mode,just to get a hang how fpv feels. It was great, but i was a bit harsh on landing,and somehow managed to cut one of my anthenna wirex on fs ia6b receiver. Inoticed that after a while,of course. So it is still flyable and everything, but i just want to check if it is possible to solder a new anthenna wire, or it means i got to get new receiver? Thx in advance.

Depends on how confident in soldering you are.

That RX has 2 antennas so will fly well on 1 in the short term.

If the damaged antenna is still long enough you could remake the active end without replacing it.

Cut off the lump of heatshrink tubing and just strip back 31mm of the coax shielding to expose the core.

If not then then you can get replacement antennas like these: -

Cut off the connector and solder onto the RX

I';ve done all of the above on mine.

Just note that once you start mucking around with the antenna you will affect the range so do a range check after.

I haven';t reached the limit yet, but then I don';t go further than ~300m

There is no more place to strip it down :/ so i think i';m gonna cut that receiver open and check whats inside of it.
