Before I ran the M11x I noticed the antenna had some heat shrink at the base and when I moved it, it came apart. So I replaced the antenna with one from a wifi camera I have. It could be that antenna so I ordered a M11x antenna from Hobby People. I'll report back next week if it fixes the problem.
Any other recommendations?
Definitely sounds like the antenna. You could check out the m11x antenna handle mod (search). Absolutely optional, but it does protect the antenna and puts it in line with the later gen radios.
