Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / August 2003Dean's short antenae...how do you connect to receiver?
How do you connect the dean's short antenae? Do you solder it to the receiver board or just connect it to the old receiver antenae wire? Do you need a different dean's antenae for the different frequency ranges (72mHz, 53 mHz, 35 mHz)...how do you tell the difference? Thanks! > How do you connect the dean's short antenae?

You cut the original receiver wire so that 4 to 6 inches are sticking out of the receiver (don't open the Rx). Solder the Deans connector to the 4 inch traily wire, and you're done. > Do you need a different dean's antenae for the different frequency > ranges (72mHz, 53 mHz, 35 mHz)...how do you tell the difference? Yes, and you tell the difference by doing the following. Order the one for the freq you want. Check that it IS the freq you want by looking at the package insert.

I don't know if they are 72 mHz or not. Any ideas on how to tell? Are the shorter antenae less succeptable to engine noise from a glow or gasser? > >> How do you connect the dean's short antenae?

I can't think of any other way to know for sure. > Are the shorter antenae less succeptable to engine noise from a glow > or gasser? Gassers usually cause more problems than glo-motors because of the high energy spark, but lots of people still use Deans style twigs with gassers. I suspect they position the twig as far away from the ignition system of the engine as possible though, and they usually use a well surpressed ignition too.
