These antennas are coax cables on most Futaba receivers and just plug into the receiver.
Those longer antenna cables and antenna extension cables (even the Futaba ones) come with an associated and not insignificant signal loss. Its much better to move the receiver to a location where the antennas are more clear than to extend the antenna cables...
