HUmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. This is a head scratcher for sure. The turbine is an artes 50 bee. the battery lead for the ecu does run parallel to a section of the antenna, but I shielded it with aluminum tape ( I think) It may just be the location where im performing my range check, (street 4 lanes plus median in an industrial park area), do you have the one piece deans or the two peice. I have a deans 2 piece and a revolution one piece in my posseion that I can try tonight. Yes when I pull up the first extension of the Tx antenna the problem go away, but I did not try a range check with it up. I will try that just for kicks. Thank you guys for the ideas. I will try and post a pic of what I have going on in the fuse. DelGato my bird is too pretty to put a toy looking whip on it, so that option is out, ive thought about that though. John
