Mounting an inexpensive ($17) external ADS-B antenna on the belly pretty far back in the tailcone and connecting to the unit via RG400 cable did wonders for improving the unit's reception compared to the folding telescoping antennas that it comes with. And although I spent a bit more trying various components that I didn't end up using, if one wanted to start from scratch, everything needed to build and install it would be less than $270. I put together a web page with details including parts and price list for anyone who might be considering this for their -10: http://faculty.washington.edu/dmasys/stratux.html As always, YMMV and there are lots of alternative ways to get this accomplished. Was quite happy with how this turned out, since it basically tripled the number of towers the unit sees in most locations. -Dan Masys RV-10 N104LD 880 hrs, once a project always a project ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-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/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-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.
