Default JR Rx antenna

How can I change my receiver antenna on a JR R600 receiver?

Marc 1955...............Just take the receiver case off, Find where the antenna is soldered to the "PC" board, using a low temp soldering iron, (25 watts) UN-solder the antenna, and solder in a new antenna 29.5 inches for 72 MHz. Be sure and make a strain relief like the older antenna had, Bob

Actually the antenna needs to be 1 meter or roughly 39" long.

Thank you very much Bob,

Actually I did not explain my problem correctly. My Rx is open on my work bench the problem is that I did not find out yet how to remove the PC board from the plastic case. I can't see any tabs or else that restrain the PC board in place.

I'm not sure which receiver you have . Call Horizon Hobby, and ask them. Bob

It will pull out, it's just a pressure fit. I normally lift it using the antenna wire.
