Not cutting a 2.4ghz antenna, while VERY good advice, is not always the case. The actual antenna that is used is only the last few millimeters that are a smaller diameter & a different color. The wire can be cut to any length as long as you strip the very end of the insulation back to THE SAME, EXACT, PRECISE LENGTH. Even a small fraction of a millimeter difference will cause reception quality to degrade. Unless really know what your doing & can strip the insulation to a very precise length, don't do it.

As an alternative, the excess antenna can be tucked inside the receiver box for an even cleaner look. The sr3100 receivers I use have a capacitor in the middle of the board. I coil the antenna around that until I get the length I'm looking for. When you do this, be careful not to unplug the antenna from the board. No problems if you do, just plug it back in, it's just easy to do & will cause a world of frustration until you figure out what went wrong. Ask me how I know.
