| What splice thing? if you are talking about the plug that goes into the RX and has a wire coming out and looping back to the plug that is just the bind plug and can be removed

No, I've got four 6 channel rx's and they all have a large splice like thing on the antenna. I'll try to get a pic uploaded.

Here is what I'm talking about. I cut one open to see, but didn't take any pics. It's just like a brass tube that the antenna runs into, and then soldered at one end with the antenna continuing through it. |

That "splice" is the antenna...the antenna on the v2 6 and 8 ch rxs use a real dipole antenna. Which will give more range and a better connection...other radios and the v1 rxs uses a satellite antenna (a small rx plugs into big one). You probably could replace it with the standard 2.4 coax cable. But I haven't tried.

Speaking of antennas B4 i get to bed. I accidentally pulled the antenna off the board of my HK T6A. it seems to have come cleanly out of the board, how hard is that solder on and still have it working? |

but you should still have 10-20+ ft of range with no antenna. and just plug in your satellite, it should give you plenty of range. hobbypartz does sell v1 rx. its branded as exceed...but these DON'T WORK WITH THE GT3B, I you know this, probably, but don't want others think it will bind up. | |

It came right off the v2 board cleanly. All the wire is in the plastic antenna. Yea i use taptalk on my phone.its great but not perfect |

Its the TX board. Its a damn tiny spot to solder. I don't really NEED it as i have the gt3b and a 2nd unmodded t6a v2. But i don't want to just waste it

So you put v2 modules in your t6a? but yes, v2 tx modules are a pita to solder back on, but possible, I've done it quite afew times |

I'll look at this no save problem Monday evening when I get back home, and answer questions better when I have a real key board. that doesn't have a bad digitizer.

No i bought 2 t6a v2 radios and the antenna happened to come out the TX board during the pistol grip conversion. Just haven't tried to solder it back on yet because it looks like a pain.

And for the record to those saying how helpful losikid is as a vendor he has been quite helpful in the past even b4 he was a vendor. Back when he started doing TX pistol grip conversions for himself

| No worries. I dont need it to work now. Just trying to make heads or tails of how to move the channels to each button and how to make that all work for the 4ws. Somewhere im overlooking something.... |
