Jay, I was having trouble with my vision when I first installed the rubber duck antenna on it. It scrambled the data stored in the eprom that stored model setup. The problem was Rf leaking inside of the Tx. I had attached the lead from the rubber duck to the pc board where the metal tab came out to attach to the end of the stock antenna. This left about an inch of antenna inside my vision to leak Rf into anything that would catch it. After some trouble shooting I finally realized what was causing the problem. I attached the lead from the rubber duck to the place where it would have connected to the stock antenna. No more internal antenna, no more Rf leaks and the duck worked fine after that.
