Can I use any wire? or is this aerial wire special? Thanks Just conductive, run of the mill wire will do ya fine, try and keep same length as original though. There is a list on this forum somewhere for lengths to use for each make of RX, do a search and u will find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Terminator Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The seperate coloured wires in telephone cable or ethernet cables can be used.Like whats been said,make sure its the same length as the one its replacing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock_Nitro Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Is there any specific problem with getting a longer wire? I can imagine a shorter wire would reduce the signal, but can't see a problem with a longer one. But then again that may be my in-experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again that may be my in-experience Yeah, it's all related to the wavelength of the frequency being used......can't remember the formula now.......think it is a quarter wavelength antenna on 27Mhz? In short, it has to be a certain length for correct/best operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 When I replace aerial wire, I use this: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criter...rce=15&SD=Y 10m of the stuff is enough to last a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
