<DIV>You have a point about sending the receiver back.... Let them
cut it. At least there's a chance they might test it before sending
it back!</DIV>
<DIV>What I find very interesting is that cutting the wire to 21.6" came
directly from Futaba to the Forum. I'd love to have been a fly on the
wall</DIV>
<DIV>when that was discussed behind closed doors....</DIV>

[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba 14mz and compact flash

the antenna length on the <BR>>> R5014<BR>>> receiver. There was
an article in RCU about cutting the antenna length to<BR>>> 21.6" to
solve intermittent holds. Then I read something from Futaba that<BR>>>
you should not cut the antenna, you should tighten any metal or
carbon<BR>>> vibration to solve the problem. A friend bought a new radio
with that<BR>>> receiver and it has the shortened antenna. So my
question is if Futaba is<BR>>> shipping new receivers with the shorter
antenna then why would they<BR>>> recommend not cutting the antenna?
Holds no matter how short, unnerve me<BR>>> to<BR>>> the point of
not wanting to fly the airplane. I have been using 1024<BR>>> receivers
with the 14mz radio.<BR>>><BR>>> Claude
