That antenna should give you better service than the ELT antenna which is designed to operate best at one frequency only. The Cessna antenna should also be a bit faster on the outside of your plane.

Would an ACK ELT 17.5" whip with the 18 turn coiled part near the end work as a com antenna? I also have a used Cessna 598501-0104 streamline base 23" antenna that I can use. Do you know if it actually is a com antenna and when I install it are the 4 mounting bolts enough to connect it to the ground plane or does the whole base have to make contact? Would appreciate any feedback thanks Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message avionics-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Avionics-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/avionics-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/avionics-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.
