My new Microsizers + antenna mod

Here are my Microsizers I got a couple days ago, plus the extra bodies I got.

Notice the insanely long antennas--they are stock. I did this by pulling up the PCB and rerouting the wire to come out from under the back of the board. I also untied the knot in the wire that the factory stuffs under the board. With the wire sticking up from behind the board, I bent it forward next to the clips on the PCB cover, then back through the clips and up (to reduce tension on the solder holding the wire to the bottom of the board). This adds about 1.5 inches to the antenna! A side effect of this is, when mounting the body, the wire tends to be pressed into the little notch at the top of the window opening...a small cosmetic detail I really enjoy.

Hmmmm, did you do a Viagra mod in there somewhere?

If you run your fingers up the antenna, you can straighten it...takes a little bit of practice. (there was no way to write this reply without it sounding bad)
