Need to add a GPS antenna to the top of my Tripacer.  Only logical space is
on the metal fairing close to one of the com antennas on either the right or
left side.  Going to feed a Bendix/King 150MFD.

Can anyone tell me if I would have an interference problem?

Thanks

Bob, Wichita

Should work a treat mounting the GPS antenna on the metal wing to
fuselage gap seal, Bob.

Go for it, keeping it a couple feet away from transmitting antennas.

Bob,
I believe that Garmin recommends mounting it 30", or more, from any
transmitting antenna.  I know that the Avionics shop that did my 430 install
mounted the GPS antenna closer than 30" and I do not have odd spurious
problems with guidance.
David
