Default How about a dual antenna retrofit for a spektrum dx8???

I have a friend that just bought a dx18 and the first thing I noticed was that they had replaced the single antenna with a dual antenna facing both ways. I have telemetry on my dx8 and have found that I seem to only have a telemetry beep, when 2 satellite antennas have a simultaneous fade, is when the plane is inline with the way the antenna is pointed! A dual antenna retrofit would be something I would be very interested in buying if it was available for my dx8! Would anyone else interested in this upgrade , if available?

It's not that simple, sorry.

The DX18 and DX18QQ are the only radios that have the new circuitry to support the dual antennas.
