Is it possible to buy a new antenna? Mine fell off of the remote and I lost it...

The antenna is replaceable. It is only a short piece of copper wire enclosed in plastic. As an emergency fix you could also insert a straightened paper clip into the antenna opening - there is no shock or safety issue with the transmission of the signal to the dog collar. (Don't use coax cable - the "shielding" layer will mask out your signal emanating from the central transmission wire.) Only the collar has a charge which is "triggered" by the signal from the hand held remote.

So far, that hasn't happened to ours. Best remote collar we have ever had! Hope you find a way to replace the antenna!

Contact the company and they might send a replacement. Mine was cracked when I got it. Unfortunately, I sent the whole thing back because I couldn't get a signal from anywhere past my next door neighbor and expecially not 1/2 a mile away.

I need a new antenna also, but so far the collar is still working. I have not had to "shock" my dog, the beep it does as a warning has worked well for him. I haven't been able to find just the antenna for the collar. I will go on the website ..Thank you Lisaly for the information

I bought the same junk. Mine doesn't work either. I am not climbing a 50' tower to bring it down and send back. Amazon has been no help in this matter. I refuse to order any more merchandise from Amazon due to their not caring attitude for long service customers. The antenna is just plastic junk never designed to work properly. Many of us have been fooled.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am wondering the same thing - did you ever find an antenna that works? Thanks!

I was lucky...there was not a busted piece. The sections of the antenna were frozen together. I was able to pull it out by unscrewing the holding bolt and turning the radio on. Putting the new one in was not hard, just turn off the radio while holding the end in place. I used a utube video to show how. I did have to cut an inch off the cable as the replacement was a bit too high.

I know how this sounds but the manufacturer may have them if you ask nicely. I was able to get a replacement last year.. if not go for a generic remote or other. Sorry that is all I can advise.

Sorry, I lost mine too! It works well with a number of universal remotes that are available.

The antenna is detachable and I think it can be replaced with another SMA antenna; the connector is SMA like however I really didn't test it so I can't be 100% shure but I would say it is likely.

I own two antennas; one for 2 years. It would either be the signal going to the antenna from the broadcasting center changed or a glitz with the tv and it needs reprogramed.

It could be done. First try to use a simple piece of stiff wire, like a brazing rod or a bicycle wheel spoke. If you can get that to contact a place in the center of where the metal antenna normally goes, then you could figure a way to make this work. Replacement antennas similar to the original one are available for about the same price as this unit...or make your own with wire.

On my second sk3005 antenna and it's just failed. We've replaced one dish, the LDU and cable. I'm suspicious that the antenna can be damaged by road vibration or water infiltration. Hope you're having better luck getting help from Winegard than I am.

My child rounded a corner and snapped hers. Upon inspection, you might notice the antenna actually screws on/off. I wrote the company (support@skyrockettoys.com) and they sent a replacement free of charge.

Hi,you will need to go to Get My Electronics.com and buy a RF antenna adapter. There is a place for the adapter on the TV and then you will be all set to use any antenna you want.Jan
