I'll try to get a photo today. Might need to be different on conventional neck straps. I can picture two pieces of velcro, one on each side of the neck strap, connecting to two pieces on the bottom outside edges of the transmitter.<div><br></div><div>Jim O</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><html>On May 16, 2008, at 6:58 AM, Keith Hoard wrote:</html><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Anybody got one made of carbon fiber?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 7:50 AM, Archie Stafford <<a href="mailto:astafford@swtexas.net">astafford@swtexas.net</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="white" link="blue" vlink="blue" lang="EN-US"> <div><p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">George,</span></font></p><div><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">You'll need to either make or find someone selling one of the new balance things that changes the neckstrap attachment point. It definitely changes the feel. Dave Lockhart made one for his radio's and I think there are a few people making them commercially. I personally had one made for me at a local machine shop. </span></font></p><div><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Arch</span></font></p><div><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> <div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </span></font></div><p><b><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: bold;">From:</span></font></b><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;"> <a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank">nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank">nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a>] <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">On Behalf Of </span></b>george w. kennie<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, May 16, 2008 7:34 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> NSRCA Mailing List<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [NSRCA-discussion] antenna</span></font></p> </div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Tony,</span></font></p> </div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Please help me with a question regarding the 2.4 GHZ propagation.</span></font></p> </div> <div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> </div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">My new module for my 9C says to remove the antenna which I did, but now the Tx feels unbalanced at the end of my neck strap. Isn't there a reconfiguration of the pin assignments at the module output pins to route the signal to the new antenna making the original antenna base pin dead? Or even if the original antenna is still receiving output shouldn't the wavelength of the 72 antenna cause it's output strength to be mucho DB down making it insignificant?</span></font></p> </div> <div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> </div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">To simplify, what I want to do is reconnect my 72 MHZ antenna in order to re-establish the balance of my Tx and still fly on the 2.4 module.</span></font></p> </div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> Can't I do this with no ill effects?</span></font></p> </div> <div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> </div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Thanks,</span></font></p> </div> <div><p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">G.</span></font> </p> </div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </span></font></div><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.<br> It has removed 7986 spam emails to date.<br> Paying users do not have this message in their emails.<br> Try <a href="http://www.spamfighter.com/len" target="_blank">SPAMfighter</a> for free now!</span></font></p> </div> </div> <br>_______________________________________________<br> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a><br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><br>Keith Hoard<br>Collierville, TN<br> <a href="mailto:khoard@gmail.com">khoard@gmail.com</a><br><br> _______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
