RadioLink R6DS Replacement Receiver Antenna

The RadioLink R6DS Replacement Receiver Antenna (Part No: RLKA001011) is a specialized spare part designed for the compact R6DS series. Given the R6DS's role in micro-drones and park flyers, its antenna is often the most vulnerable component during close-proximity flight. This replacement restores the precise 2.4GHz resonance required for a stable 600-meter air range.

Key Features:

• Optimized Mini Length: At approximately 90mm (3.54"), this antenna is shorter than the R12DS/R8EF versions, making it easier to route inside the tight canopies of racing drones and small fixed-wing aircraft.
• Plug-and-Play IPEX Connector: Features a micro IPEX (U.FL) snap-on connector. This allows for a fast, solder-free repair—simply pop the damaged lead off the receiver board and click the new one into place.
• Micro-Weight: Weighing nearly nothing, it ensures the R6DS maintains its ultra-light 3.4g profile, which is critical for 1S and 2S micro-builds.
• DSSS & FHSS Compatibility: Designed to support RadioLink’s dual spread spectrum technology, ensuring high anti-interference performance even in "noisy" RF environments.

Installation Tip:

Because the R6DS is often used in very small frames, antenna placement is vital. Pro-Tip: Use a small piece of heat-shrink tubing or a zip-tie "splint" to keep the antenna standing vertically away from the frame. For the R6DS, ensure the clear unshielded tip is not touching any carbon fiber, as this will significantly "shade" the signal and reduce your control distance.

Maintenance Note: If you find the IPEX connector feels loose after installation, a tiny dab of non-conductive glue (like E6000) will keep it secure against the high-frequency vibrations found in micro-quadcopters.
