Bustergrunt Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I need to put longer aerials in my MPX Rx 7 lite as the carbon nose in my Pike WR blanks the current short ones. Does anyone know if the FRSky i.e. FrSky V8 D8 TFR Receiver Antenna, which I can get from T9 will snap onto the mpx aerial terminals? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentPilot Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Have you measured your MPX connectors? There are 2 main sizes that I know of, 2mm & 3mm. Most of my stuff uses the FrSky 3mm antennas but my LemonRx receivers use 2mm. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentPilot Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just a heads up... I've edited the sizes. Got them wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustergrunt Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Aerials obtained from T9 and fitted to the (Don't tell him) Pike....range check appears okay so flight testing to follow.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustergrunt Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just choose the length you need 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankS Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks, also looking at your photo it appears that the two aerials run parallel straight out the top of the fuselage, rather than the recommended 90 deg apart, is that the case? if so do you see any drop in link quality when the glider is above you or banking away shielding both aerials?

Feefo Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Did you trim the exposed/inner part of the antenna? I thought I read 'elsewhere' that you needed to trim it down to the same size as the MPX antenna's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustergrunt Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Nope, just clipped them in, tested them out and they work just fine 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
