Thread: Walkie talkie aerial

On the things you hate section I posted about my 2006 uniden walkie talkie aerial breaking off at the base.
Managed to split the case at work (with some good advice from @gonetropo) but it got worse.
The plastic has gone brittle to the point it shattered when i squeezed it a bit hard.
Some really shitty jigsaw puzzling with some superglue got it back together, followed by a suggestion from @7mmwsm to use heat shrink over the top and finished with some plastic airline to fit the inside of the aerial and superglue in to help it down by the thin bit where its weakest.
Rough but ok.
Get home to check the other one and its started to break down there too.
@ROKTOY see pics of model. UHO44.
Think several look quite similar.
The base of the aerials have a groove and are sandwiched between the cases.
What was disappointing was noticing the top of the repaired one cracked and needed some more glue.
They are pretty buggered really and dont reckon they will last long.
If anyone else has some bits that would be great
Could almost be in the buy/sell section I suppose
Cheers
