Is there any way to order a Phantom 2 receiver without the dipole antennas installed?  

Recently I ordered a spare receiver for my Phantom for a very specific reason.  I had heard that replacing the antennas with upgraded types involved carefully getting the epoxy off of the receiver u-fl antenna connectors.  Getting that epoxy off of the connectors has, for some, resulted in damaging the receiver circuit borad.  So I thought I would be smart and buy a replacement board in advance.  Unfortunately, when my replacement board arrived it already had the dipole antennas attached and epoxied in place (thus defeating my purpose unless I discard the antenna upgrade idea).
