Sanwa 451 range problems
Has anybody else had this issue where the receiver's range suddenly drops to about 10-15 feet making it useless
Now had 3 do this to me. First 2 went back to SMD and were replaced for a small fee (great service by the way) with the diagnosis being damaged co-ax in the aerials. So, another one goes yesterday. I'm thinking this has to be the aerial so I open the case, unplug the aerial & test it with a multimeter. Continuity (beep test) & resistance are fine on both parts - co-ax & sheath indicating the aerial is unbroken inside & no amount of wiggling will change that Re-fitted, still no range I know loads of people with these receivers & no-one else seems to have had this issue... |

I've had 3 451rx's go, and they can't be repaired either.
Sent them back to SMD and replaced straight away, great service. One of the ones that went was brand new with the transmitter.

I just wanted to know whether anybody else has replaced an aerial to cure this particular fault? I'm reluctant to replace another rx for a 1 minute plug in fix, or replace the aerial only for it to do the same |

The first one i had go when the radio first came out a couple of years ago, I sent to Derek Bailey and it was sent back as he couldn't repair it, so I contacted Sanwa direct and had to send it back to them in Japan, after about 3 months they came back saying that a capacitor was causing the fault, and they would replace it FOC minus the postage (was about £10) Your best bet is to send it to SMD and let them help you with it.

Had a similar problem but it was the TX aerial at fault. Changed the aerial and never had a problem since
