hello i have a fs-ia6b ( pls don't judge) and practically one antenna got cut, and then second one was cut by my props(my mistake 😦 ). i got some generical looking antenna, dissected it, and soldered it on, i had it checked by mt friend and he said it was soldered on correctly, the reciever has 2 antennas, I soldered one and the other one i completely, soldered off.
i tried to rebind the reciever, just connect to it etc, but nothing works, help, also does anyone know the pinout for ibus, or sbus, i cant remember which one.
Sorry for my bad spelling and grammar,
buuut, please please heeelp
thanks

This video should have all the information you need.
LMK if you have further questions.
@ me please so I see it.

@prisma hamlet im not sure, the video didn't really say anything, i'm still not sure what to do

What speciffically in the video did you not understand?

What speciffically in the video did you not understand?
like i did everything that was done in the video, like i had my antenna, i resolderd it,
hollow badger
yep here! 😄
should it be able to work with one antenna?
prisma hamlet
yes, assuming it was soldered back on ground to ground and signal to signal.
also assuming that the exposed lenght above the dipole is appropriate for the 2,4 frequency you are using.
hollow badger
yes, assuming it was soldered back on ground to ground and signal to signal.
i think si, i soldered the thin one where the thin one was before that, and i soldered the thouter to where the outer shell was soldered on before

hmm i should check
it's meant to be 31 mm right?

then you should be good.
hollow badger
i should still check the diopode thing right?
prisma hamlet
it's meant to be 31 mm right?
so technically you wanna do C/2.4
Then divide it by aother whole number that matches your radios antenna.
Since we dont know the, antenna in the radio just assume that it's 2, 4 or 8
Any will be fine really

so its meant to be either 31, 15 or 62 mm?
prisma hamlet

Technically any ar fine, but since it is a dipole style.
you want it to be the lenght of your little sheild bell.
Which if you have not yet trimmed or dammaged that new antenna you have on there.
it's good as is, your done.
but you can use that video to find a spare peice of coax cable around and make a 2nd antenna for the other antenna port.

i measured it, both of the things, the metal one and the exposed stuff are 21 mm
prisma hamlet
ok leave it then, they match, that's whats most important.
for a dipole

for a dipole
ok so should i solder on another antenna on the other side?
prisma hamlet
if you got one yeah, or a small peice of coax cable and u can make one like in the video

yep i do,

but even without the second antenna should it still work?
prisma hamlet
but even without the second antenna should it still work?
yes
the main benifit of 2 different antennas is that you can position the 2 differently.
so that it makes it harder for the signal to get blocked.
hollow badger
hmm but even with one its not working,
prisma hamlet
The receiver may have other damage we don't know about.

it was working fine before this happened

Thicker gauge coax cable on the new antenna will not have a difference compared to the old one.

hmm
its still not working 😦

ok recall in the vid where the c/2.4 then gets divided by another number to make a fractional wavelength?
typically 4 or 8 mainly for size convinces.
If the radio doesn't match the same fractional wavelength it will struggle to connect.
so you could either:
A: Open up your radio and or its antenna and confirm its antenna measurements to match them.
B: Assume the receiver is damaged in some other way and just replace it.

nvr mind im just stupid
i was using the wrong pinout
sorry bout that
