need some help with JR R1221
Hello guys, I am working on a buddies BVM MiG and he has a JR R1221 receiver in the plane. I noticed that the tinny little antenna on the back edge of the receiver is broken. He has three satellites installed in the aircraft. Does anyone know what that tiny antenna (wire?) is for? Does it matter that the wire is broken?

Had no intentions of taking a risk, just wanted to make sure it was actually an antenna and not something else that would not affect the performance of the receiver. The manual doesn't specify what it is, and I had doubts that it was infact an antenna because of the three satalite atennas that are connected to the reveiver.

It looks like the service dept is still running strong.

jramerica just sent me a new XG14 transmitter/rec. I sent another XG14 in for checkout-repair of a broken switch. While I was on their website I found an announcement for a $100 modification to the transmitters that allows the pilot to plug a speaker into the transmitter that announces sensor readouts like varometer, airspeed, alt. etc. The mod is warranteed by JR.
