Re: [RCSE] 51 MHz base loaded antenna for 9303

[Larry Taylor]

The Module for a ham channel is designed to use the stock Ant on the radio. 
The smily Ants are designed to replace that Antenna. If you look at all the 
Antennas in the impound they are at different lenghts. They all use the same 
kind of Antenna just different adapters for the radios. Remember to do a 
Range check( Full Ant ) before you install the Antenna by having some one 
drive with your radio and find out where it starts to fail.( a 2 way radio 
works good here) Mark that location and do the same with your new Antenna 
You will lose some range, due to the Ant being smaller. Thats OK to lose a 
little, but not Half.. At the Visalia Fall Festival we have close to 13 Hams 
every year. They have not had a problem. Same with the 72Mhz with the rubber 
Antennas. I don't think I would use a Rubber Antenna for flying Cross 
Country. The full Antenna will let you fly as high as you can see. If you 
can see it you have control of it. If you can't see it, its to late any how.

I've used the Smiley antenna on an Airtronics Stylus transmitting on 50 
MHz
(six meters).  I mainly fly sailplanes and I never had a problem with 
range
when I used this particular antenna.

I am interested in a shorter antenna for my JR9303. A base loaded antenna
and adapter is available but specified only for 72 MHz. operation. Is
there an option for 51 MHz operation?  I have succesfully used a Smiley
rubber ducky on 51 MHz. with a Futaba transmitter with my power planes
but I am uncomfortable with this setup flying the sailplanes.
Thank you,  Jim MacLean
