Bob -
It doesn't look like the Archer-type antenna diagram came through.
All I can see is the emacs symbol, even on the html version. Is the
diagram posted on your site anywhere? I would like to build one, but
need to see the diagram. Thanks!
Sam Staton

the residue came off with carb cleaner, [like you soak a carb in] and
lacquer thinner. between the two it came off clean.

It occurs to me that you might be asking
about the antennas that go into the vertical
fin. I've not seen any of those.

Greetings All,
Two questions:
1. Any problem crafting my own ELT antenna for install in an RV8 tail fairing, per http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Antennas/DIY_Comm_Ant/DIY_Comm.html instructions?
2. What is EMACS!
Thanks,
Raz

Have to look at your ELT installation instructions. The ELT is TSOed and
might require that you use their antenna.

Do you have access to an antenna analyzer or
at least an SWR meter?

Functionally, yes . . . as long as it's a VHF only
ELT. If it's a dual band device, the antenna has special
features to offer performance on both frequencies.
As Ed mentioned, you might have some bureaucratic
briar patches to negotiate too.
>2. What is EMACS!
It's a placeholder that my email client inserts for
embedded figures. Your e-mail client may object to
displaying the figure and displays the placeholder.
You can get the 'complete' posting my going to
the http://matronics.com/forums and viewing the
thread there. The figures can be downloaded too
and placed on your own computer as you see useful
or necessary.
It's a bit of a quandary . . . it's useful to
illustrate a posting with embedded images so that
they are displayed in place with the descriptive
text . . . as opposed to making them attachments
or linking to an uploaded image on the website.
But some email clients don't handle my embedded
images well. What e-mail client are you using?

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "Portable transponder".
I have a small antique airplane with no electrical system & would often
like to have a transponder but I don't really want to add a small
battery. I don't mind adding the small transponder type antenna. I am
trying to find out if there is a transponder out there powered by it's
own rechargeable batteries - like a handheld comm radio or a portable
GPS. Any info here would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Johnny

I'm not familiar with such an animal....Though you may be able to rig someth
ing up using one of the newer lightweight low power devices like a Trig.
