[RCSE] 9303 w/2.4 module question

2008-05-06 Thread BCLERX
You can switch between the two Tx antenna systems in less than a minute, so 
I'm not sure mounting the 2.4 antenna on top of the 72 MHz collapsed Tx antenna 
will save you much time. The actual 2.4 antenna can be mounted nearly anyway 
you want, but you need to have the ability to keep it perpendicular to the 
aircraft for max range. Yeah, you could slip it over the stub of the 72MHz 
antenna and secure it with tape, but why? It only takes a few seconds to 
unscrew the 
regular 72MHz antenna and screw in the plastic 2.4 GHz antenna mount (it is 
only a mount and not part of the antenna system). Slipping it over the other 
antenna will probably not affect range, but a ground range check should reveal 
any problems. I can't make any guarantees since I have't tried it.

I have a 9303 with a 2.4 module.  The 2.4 antenna mount uses a plastic adap=
ter which screws in to replace the 72 mhz antenna. =20

Is there any reason I cannot simply mount the 2.4 antenna on top of the col=
lapsed 72 mhz antenna?  In other words, do I have to remove the 72 mhz ante=
nna?
