Garmin collar modification

Do any of y'all modify or improve your collars? I've seen some tape up from the main part down to the little gps square antenna.
Has anyone tried cutting off a freyed bad tip on the antenna instead of replacing it?

I have cut tips of antennas when frayed by dogs chewing on them in box between hunts. Could not tell a difference.

Being a ham radio person...I understand how they work. The antennas are made to certain wave length. You don't want to create a standing wave (SWR) problem within the transmitter on the collar which will hurt it. Antennas are cheap...alot cheaper than a new collar.

I weave my antennae through the collar so there is not as much chance for them to chew on it.
