Laurence T Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hi guys, Returned home from a shoot the other night and realized that the rubber/vinyl 'tip' of one of my Sony UWP-D transmitters (UTX-b03) was missing. (see pics) The internal wire of the antenna is exposed, however repeated tests have shown there doesn't seem to be any detrimental effect at all (yet) - on range or audio quality. Can I just add any tip/cover to the antenna or do I have to replace the entire antenna? Hope you can help - thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Any tip or cover will work. It could be made of lead or kryptonite and that short a piece wouldn't affect the antenna. A small piece of shrink tubing or soft tubing from the hardware will work just fine and keep the wire end from poking talent. Best Regards, Larry Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I use kryptonite (got lots of it, some for smoking and some for antennas) -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
