    Yes, very cheap and easy to fit.

    I know Inwoods stock them, might be worth a call in the morning.

    I did that. You can't get replacement aerials. Let Wiz know, but looks like you have to buy the whole unit again. God Give me Strength

    However, I fixed mine, by removing the screws, stripping back the center sheath and re-soldering. Then attaching the earth braid onto the ground. Obviously checked the range, and seems ok. Put some extra epoxy to take the stress.
    It is a bit fragile as that little wire is asking for trouble. Will be buying a full set soon, as I wanted to use my 35Mhz PCM9XII which was a spare.

    As in the transmitter? Please say you don't mean that.

    If you mean this whole bit, then you can buy them from Inwoods which is where I got my one from for about £15, it comes with the wire with the clip on the end

    Simon,

    You should have been able to get a replacement antenna direct from MacGregors today.

    SORTED!

    Phoned Macgregor this morning and as the specialist who looks after reapirs was out till Tuesday it was suggested that I send the TX in for review, quote and then repair and return. God Give me Strength

    I phoned Inwoods- no stock God Give me Strength

    Did a quick search on t,web and found hobbyplastic had antnna and it was in stock. Phoned Hobbyplastic and the number looked familiar, answered by a familiar voice ' Mac Gregor Industries' and transferred to a helpful chap who is going to ship first class today!  all that has failed is the tiny co-axial crimp connector and I had to but a complete assembly.  Still its only £15.00 plus post.

    Apparentyly Eflite antenna fits too.
