A different Receiver antenna question.

[Paul Cooper]

So I had ordered some 400mm antennas on the internet and they finally arrived today. The question I have is, the antenna cables come with ferrit beads (assuming) near the end that goes in the antenna tube. Ya that's not going to work is it ok to carefully cut the sleeving and move the beads down the cables farther. I'm assuming the beads are for noise suppression.

What radio do you have? You know that last inch is the actual antenna?

 

[Paul Cooper]

I have a Flysky Noble NB4 with FGr4 waterproof receivers. Yes I do . On the FGr4 receivers the antennas only about 5 in. long. I got a couple mounted in a couple of Cats I have and had to velcro the receivers to the underside of the deck to get the antenna out side the boat. I'd like to get the end of the antenna higher in the air to make sure I have good reception and distance. If I were to guess only about 2 to 2.5 inches is outside of the boats.

Are the hulls carbon fibre? If they are then you need to get them out of the hull, but if they are fibreglass your OK.

No the decks on all 3 that I'm using the FGr4 on are Fiberglass. The Hydro has some areas that are Carbon re-enforced but not where the antenna will be. At least I don't have to worry about that.
