I mistakenly cut off part of one of the diversity antenna's. Just wondering if anybody knows if this receiver would still be functional by using two remote receivers?

Probably but you should replace the one. You can buy replacements.
Possible… https://www.amazon.com/10PCS-100mm-R...NsaWNrPXRydWU=

The receiver's owner's manual tells you how long they are. 1 is about 3.6" and the other one is about 6". Which one did you chop off?
There's this one:

I may be off base on this, but the "diversity" part is mostly the electronic circuitry in the receiver. The antenna is primarily a particular kind of wire. That link the Evan put up may be for FrSky but the antenna is just a piece of wire inside a sheath. I think those may also work. I'd still use at least one remote receiver.

The over all antennae length isn't important except if you are trying to mount it a specific way. The active part is the silver part on the end and i has to be a specific length. The only other thing that is important is the connector and these use ipex connectors. Replacing one is no harder than popping the case open. popping off the connector with a tiny jewelers screwdriver and popping the new one on.
Spektrum normally will not sell parts so you need to find substitutes elsewhere. As long as it's for 2.4 and has the right connector it should work.
Some receivers are diversity, that they have two receiver circuits in the receiver. Others have a circuit to select the stronger signal from the antennae and send that to the single receiver. Others (typically not with coax antennae) simply have two wires soldered to the receiver board, no diversity.

Thanks so much for your feedback on this question.
I have one more question saying that you guys are so knowledgeable. Can I use the AR 630 receiver with my dx9 transmitter? I have the Black Edition that was supposedly updated. When I try to do a setup I see I have no forward programming in my transmitter. Confused. LOL

Do you post on RCG? Andy Kunz, Horizon employee who writes code for the Spektrum DX/ NX series radios is always answering questions like these. Plus others in the threads. They can also point you to some tutorials on-line.
