Hmmmm . . . okay. Do the backup instruments have dedicated input connections for backup power? Do they feature or do you plan to have a pilot operated power switch for these devices?

Also: one more time - how close/distance from the transponder aerial should the two be ?

That will work. Cessna produced thousands of airplanes with that 'style' vhf comm antenna. Is this a metal airplane? If not, don't forget the radials. >Also: one more time - how close/distance from the transponder aerial >should the two be ? As far as practical . . . but I've seen installations as short as 12" apart where owners reported no observable effects.

If I did this, could there be some sort of interference or noise from the ADS-B antenna transmission and the unshielded sensor wires of the EMS unit? THANKS!!! Bill Hunter ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:01:09 PM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: ADS-B Antenna Located Next To EMS From: Kelly McMullen I wouldn't expect a problem, but would try to get an inch or two of separation to ensure no interference.
