6ch24gradiomanualen.pdfI just purchased this low cost 2.4 G Computer Trasmitter/Dual Receiver that is cheap because it does not have the LCD, etc. adjustments built in, but uses your computer to set up and change the settings. It's seems similar to the FASST or Spektrum. (Here is another place to get it from)Of course I promptly broke off the small (about 2 inches) antenna wire on the receiver. My question, before I solder it back: can I add a longer length antenna to replace the broken one (since I will need to take it apart anyway) so I can potentially increase range? If yes, it would increase range, how long of an antenna should I make (between 5-12 inches)?Thank you,Tom
$60 sounds like a steal, it'd be good to hear how it performs.
Antennas work best when their length is matched to the frequency they're working on (transmitters tend to be more sensitive . Doing some quick calculations for 2.4GHz shows that a half-wave is about 2.5 inches.

Full wave:
30000 / 2400 = 12.5cm = 4.92in
So a half wave is: 6.25cm = 2.46in
Either of those should work.
