Greetings,

I just finished building a Sig Somethin' Extra kit. Has anyone ever had any
problems with radio performance when running the antenna through the
internal antenna tube? I usually like to run my antenna outside the fuse to
the tail. This also keeps the antenna from running parallel to the metal
pushrods, which I've heard can cause problems.

Any experience or thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Mike

had not problems with mine.

your ant doesnt have to be outside to get the signal.. just like your stereo
doesnt have to have an outside ant. as far as the pushrods just dont let
the ant touch them in any set up.

Seems to work just fine. I was leary too, but the design places less
material- and metal between the tx and rx. Even running outside the
fuse parallels the pushrod tubes- but then the pushrods are nylon with
only small metal tips in this particular model.
