| Subject: | Allegro 2000 ELT Antenna Location |
Gentlemen:
My communication radio antenna for my Allegro 2000 is mounted on the
centerline of the fuselage aft of the bulkhead that is just behind the
seats. Since the fuselage of the Allegro 2000 is a fiberglass composite
construction, I have used aluminum tape in an X pattern on the inside of
the fuselage to obtain a ground plane for the antenna. My ECK Model E-01 ELT
unit requires its antenna to be mounted at least 5 feet from any other
radiating antenna. Practically, this means that the ELT antenna has to be
mounted some where on top of one of the wings using the aluminum as its
ground plane. I am wondering where some of you have mounted your ELT
antennas.
