I tried it all. Let me tell you what worked for me, do with it what you may. 1- get a good radio, I have had a Garmin SL 40 for about 5 years now 2-Get that antenna mounted as far away from the engine as possible 3-Mount the antenna as verticle as possible- I use an advanced aircraft eletronics antenna that I mounted on the horizontal stabilizer. take off the rudder and epoxy the antenna to the rear inside flange of the stabilizer. I can talk clear to any airport within 150 miles . Even if you keep your radio, mount the antenna like I did and I know you will be happy Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: luigi di napoli To: lightning-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 2:22 AM Subject: Lightning-List: Antenna Hello everybody. I wish to improve my radio ,Icom IC-A200, performance. Practically the range is very limited and I have a lot of noise in trasmission. The reception is good, strong and without noise on all frequencies. The whole radio system seems to be correct, radio,connectors... The problem arises with the antenna. The antenna, a whip model, is on the belly with a ground panel inside the fuselage. The problem, I believe, is here. So, I ask, which kind of antenna did you install and the results obtained. At the moment I haven't any Residual wave measurements so I cannot answer to the request. Thank-you Luigi Esqual I-9854 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:41:05 PM PST US From: "Lowell ridge" Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Antenna usually an antenna system which receives normally will also transmit normally I suggest you check transmitter modulation.low modulation gives short range and scratchy sound,over modulation gives distortion and many other problems: lGood luck Lowell Ridge lightning kit # 10310uigi di napoli To: lightning-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 12:22 AM Subject: Lightning-List: Antenna Hello everybody.
