Using the new "2.4" Radios

[coupe]

I would like to use one of the new 2.4 radios to control a steam loco (Mortimer) but can anyone tell me where to place the antenna. With the old 75 radios I just drape the wire wherever works.

Do the same. just bung it in.

The same principles (concerning the aerial, anyway) apply as with the AM and FM systems

You should be able to place the aerial anywhere (within reason!) on the loco as 2.4 GHz doesn't suffer from the rusty bolt effect.

Thanks for the input. The antenna seems to be non-metallic, is that so?
