Had planned to use one Bob Archer VOR antenna (AeroElectric connection chapter 13) in each wingtip. For reasons I won't get into, I'm going to use a uAvionics tailBeaconX transponder (250 W). For those that don't know, it has an integral antenna. It's meant to replace the tail light, but again for reasons I won't get into, I'm going to put it in one of the wingtips. 1) Would I be better to put the 2 Bob Archer antennas in the other wingtip? 2) Put the transponder and one Bob Archer antenna in the same wingtip? 3) Neither? If #2, although the frequency of the xponder is 10x the freq of the VOR, the 2 antennas would only be inches apart. Seems like a bad idea to have a 250 watt transmitter that close to any antenna regardless of the frequency, but I defer to those who know. I'm sure the two Bobs have forgotten more than I'll ever know about antennas. Thanks. -------- Clear Skies, Tom Costanza -- in year 17 of a 3 year project Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=506321#506321 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
