replacing sm3001pro antenna help
 

where do i get new antenna wire and where do i find out the stock length spectrum wouldnt tell me thanks

I think you can just use a small piece of wire can't you? That's all it is isn't it? As long as it's the minimum length of 3.4" (check site on this) you should be fine.

Why won't spektrum tell you?:confused:

so the antenna lenght can be as little as 3.4 inches and still work 100%

if you have an SR3100 from the DX3R it is not plain wire but coaxial.

you should be able to get a spare ordered from shop or online.

Title says SR3001pro. That just uses a regular wire doesn't it?

2.4GHz Antenna replacement
 

There are 3 options that I know of :

1. Send it to Spektrum and have it repaired. Their Tech's are Good folks. Fairly rapid turn around and typically little, if any, charge.

2. The exact replacement antenna is available from a place called "Din ball" (I believe they are out of Hong Kong). I have dealt with them with good results before, however, it takes a while for shipping.

3. Carolinas R/C! - They call this an antenna for "air models", but 2.4GHz is 2.4GHz. There are 2 differences between the original and this replacement. First, the antenna is foldable, meaning that it pivots at 90 degrees. And second, the Coax lead that connects to the circuit board in your Spektrum TX is about 4" longer.

I recently replaced the broken antenna on my Spektrum module-Airtronics M11 with the antenna from Carolinas R/C! ...though the Coax lead is longer. What we are dealing with is a small routing problem... It's NOT a 27 or 75MHz antenna that is tuned to the wire length, and does not pose a signal attenuation concern.

Ive replaced lots of antenna swith regular wire...Not sure if it was 24-26 gauge. Make it the stock lenght and youll be fine.
