Interestingly on a new TX unit I've just built, if I attach a "rubber ducky" type antenna the signal stops being received (at a distance off less than a metre). Here's the actual ebay item http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281126334076
Its like if there's a dead short across it, yet a test with a multimeter shows it's an open circuit between the antennas' nut and conductor.
It seems to work ok on a receiver though.
Any ideas?
Hi uncle_bob
Not disregarding the wise words of meteoestarreja, I believe that your antenna will work. This already happened to me.
Don't put your TX unit so close to the receiver, try it at 10, 15 ou 20 meters away.
I have some anttenas like your, and they are good performers.
Try it, and please report back the result.
