How can you find a broken antenna cable if you don't have a soildering iron?
There is a bit of wire still comming out of the RF box.
I still want good range, but as a temperary fix what would do?

Thanks

Status: offline 		Replacing the whole wire is a good advice. But I have just soldiered a new piece on to the piece sticking out the receiver in a pinch and never had a problem.
