| Subject: | Antenna placement. |
--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Dean Psiropoulos" <deanpsir@easystreet.com>
I read the antenna section of Lectric Bob's book but didn't see anything
about proper placement of them. I purchased commercially available antennas
for Transponder, Marker Beacon and a combination VOR/LOC/Glideslope. I want
to install the VOR/LOC/Glideslope on the bottom of the fuselage below the
horizontal stabilizer of my RV-6A. I'm thinking this should not be a
problem and when you're in the air it would seem like the optimum place for
it! But I'm no antenna expert so is this a good place to put it? Or is
there a better one? Do I need a splitter to separate LOC/VOR signals from
Glideslope (read something about this in Lectric Bob's book but not quite
sure if I need it)? Also, I've heard that one should separate receive
antennas from transmit antennas like comm and transponder. How far from
other antennas should communication and transponder antennas be placed? If
two comm. antennas are installed, how far apart from each other should they
be? How far from transponder antenna should the comm. antenna be placed?
Any other words of wisdom on antenna placement? Thanks.
