LarryF Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 We have decided to send out some beta samples of the improved AMJ (rev a) flex antenna. We need about 20 users that could test these on receivers and on transmitters and give us some feed back. The previous antennas were fragile and the longish hinged post was a problem on transmitters when mounted close to the body. Anyway, we can send out 4 max antennas to 20 users for transmitters and SR receivers with removable SMA connected antennas. Again, we want feedback within a month. Email me at larryf@lectrosonics.com with units, blocks and postal shipping address (we're cheap). Best Regards, Larry Fisher Lectrosonics p.s. no charge, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryF Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 To All: Please use larryf@lectrosonics.com for requests. It is much easier than a PM on JWSound as I can just forward the email from my account to Leftro shipping with instructions. It's easier and I'm lazy. Plus I don't get confused if I've sent it out twice or nonce. Best, Larry F Lectro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crussell Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Any need for some testers for sound reinforcement applications or just location sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Obviously, free goodies for sound mixers is akin to waving Kobi beef in front of wolves. We have run out of the beta test antennas. It took about 3 hours. Thanks for all the responses.

studiomprd Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 reporting: nicely packaged, and they have a more rugged feel to them, and best of all, I'm experiencing better range! using 2 on TX's and 2 on SRb, I'm getting another 16' to 17' of useful range on each channel !

Do you have a rough estimate on when they will be available to buy? Hi Justin, You can order them now. Everything in stock is the new design. The reason for the 1 month beta is to determine if we want to make this the standard SRb antenna.

RPSharman Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Larry, I have 3 new SMs, still in the box, block 606. Do the new antennas replace the old ones? Should I order some? I use UM400s in 21/22, but have never had any issue because they're used on a belt with wireless boom. I am concerned about the antenna against the body on the new SM, given that all my other SM are fixed antennas. I'm curious about the difference between the different removable antennas.

Chris Durfy Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 So far, the new antennas have been performing well. Now, I haven't done range tests to compare them. I have had some of the previous version fail over time, so time will tell. I do think the bendable antenna is a great idea. Thanks Larry!

Boomboom Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think I got the older ones (bought my SRa like two years ago) and the points where they rotate are slowly getting lose. Didn't break like I've seen sor far though. I really like the idea: just folding'em at the end of the day instead of screwing-unscrewing.

Hi Pierre, You can re-tighten the joint screw to bring the friction up to the level you like. We tweak them here to a standard friction but they wear over time.
