What multiplexer would you recommend? > Having two or more appliances share a single antenna is problematic . . . and as Heinlein noted, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch". There are various ways that the energy being received or transmitted by an antenna may be split into multiple pathways . . . but the first effect is attenuation of said energy(ies). The second consideration is ability to isolate one pathway from another . . . a transmitter dumping thousands of milliwatts into the feedline is a severe performance risk (if not destructive) of other appliances where a pathway is conducting microwatts of energy. There ARE power dividers for driving up to two VOR and two glideslope receivers from a single VOR antenna . . . but the performance of ALL receivers downstream of the signal source is degraded . . . and, of course, NO transmitters are expected to share this system. The short answer to your question is no. Separate antennas go to maintaining both PERFORMANCE and REDUNDANCY of the two transceivers.

I had single battery, single old car ignition "Delco" type. I set now dual battery and two Leburg ignitions and an over-voltage protection (due to electrical dependance) and I have some question to finish it. My plane is an IBIS junqua RJ03 (wooden canard layout), looking to wire it with the Z19/RB. My main battery is 20ah (into the nose, so I will wire it with 2AWG to starter) and the aux. small battery 7ah., 30 inch. behind the main bat. but also in the forward part of the plane. Bus are quite close to the aux. battery. (30 inch. above) so I take the Z19AB wiring diagram. My problems are : I am not sure about the wires size and fuse/breaker to use, as Bob said it's a diagram and suggestion. And reading and reading again the chapter about wires size I keep not very confident to do my choice alone. 1) My cuve facet pumps (main and auxiliary, same model, have a consumption around 1,6amp/one apparently) are 20ft behind buses and switches. Same things for my ignitions. (It seems to be 0,4amp/each) may I use 14AWG for fuel pump and 16 awg for ignition ? (4 degrees Celsius only increase of temperature I calculate, I can take smaller wire not ? But up to what size to be safe, for my tezfel wire, ) 2)I have the OVP kit Bandc.aero and I have to set it close to the alternator o i can set it close to the switching panel ? (without changing the 5 amp breaker du to length of the wire ?) 3)I don't know how to wire my bandc-aero OVP kit. they sent me this diagram and did not succeeded to have another precision: http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Adobe_Architecture_Pdfs/Z17K.pdf Problem is that I don't have a dynamo. I have a car alternator of 30A. Z19Rb don't show the relay and warning light that I have. Thanks in advance.

FOR THE SUPPLY run. I presume the pump(s) are grounded to the same fat-wire that runs from main battery(-) to the crankcase. > > >Same things for my ignitions.

BE SURE THAT opening the control wire to your alternator actually opens the alternator's field supply. Unless this is true, your alternator may not be compatible with any form of external overvoltage management.

I can put a second comm antenna about 3 feet from the existing antenna, but that will place it about 1 foot from th e transponder antenna.Would that be OK since the transponder is so much hig her freq?
