Yes it is 2.4 a spektrum ar400 rx. The end of the longer antenna. Theres a small circuit board on the antenna. The short piece thats attached at the end of the circuit board broke right at the board. Even has a piece of shrink tubing around the board and antenna. Theirs also another short antenna. I guess it didn't do any good to have it.

2.4 can be intolerant of changing antenna lengths while 72 MhZ not so much. You can easily lop 6 inches off a 72 system and never see the difference. While a 2.4 would suffer with 1 inch.

Now I know someone will come on and claim their brand XYZ radio has flown without an antenna. Once! And considering all the variables the odd ball thing can happen. Once!

But who here is willing to offer a model as guinea pig to test the theory?
