Hey,
I have replaced a couple of my spektrum sr3000 antenna's before, you are right, they do just snap off! It's a big design floor in my eyes!
To replace the wire, i simply used some fine wire of the same thickness as the original antenna, cut it too the exact length as before, threaded it through the receiver inner parts and casing as it was before (leaving the exact same amount of wire inside the box as before).
Both times I have done this it has work fine with no issues!
No lack of range what so ever, and you would never be able to tell a difference between this and the original spektrum antenna.
I know spektrum will advise you not to do this, but if it works, and your confident with a soldering iron then why not!
hope this helps
