Range is about 20ft with antenna wraped around gear and about 40ft with the antenna straight out the side. This is with tx antenna all the way up. Checked both antenna connections and both look good as far as I can see can't get to rx. I have seen other threads on guys that had the same problem, but haven't seen any answers. I would also like to know how other honeybee owners that don't have this problem have there antenna routed. Thanks
