| Subject: | Antenna locations |
For those of you who equipped for IFR, where did you put your antennas? Im getting
to the point where Im closing up the floors, and so want to get my coax run
to the right places.
GPS: into/through the fiberglass canopy cover?
COM1/COM2: bottom somewhere? One on top and one on bottom? Where do you put
it to avoid interfering with others and so you have access later?
NAV: whiskers on the VS? Wingtip? Does this cover glide slope reception too?
Marker beacon?
ELT: out the top in the tailcone?
ADS-B/Transponder? Bottom below the pilot footwell or something?
Thanks for the advice!

GPS: Top on aluminum aft of cabin cover (two)
Com1/Com2: One under each rear seat
Nav: whiskers on the bottom of the tail
ELT: on top, just in front of vertical
Transponder: tunnel near the exhaust
ADSB: just aft of the second bulkhead behind baggage on the bottom
APRS: on the bottom just aft of the baggage bulkhead
I've been flying for five years and have not experienced any issues.

GPS (2) metal tailcone on top just aft of fiberglass cabin top. ELT further aft
on tailcone top. NAV cat whiskers below rudder/horizontal stab on belly. XPDR
under LH baggage floor, com2 under RH baggage floor. Access panels in baggage
floor allows access to the antennas as well as step bolts. COM 1 under pilot
seat. Sirius sat radio on glareshield. ADSB 2 under co-pilot seat. Flawless for
10 years and 1000 hours.

Two bent whip comm antennas on the belly, one behind the other, one on the left
side of the tunnel floor and one on the right side of the tunnel floor. That
way you can get to the antennas and the coax feed lines, and they do not interfere
with the elevator push tube.
Transponder antenna under the passenger seat.
ADS-B antenna on the belly aft of the baggage compartment bulkhead. I mount the
ADS-B receiver there as well. It is wired with a single four conductor shielded
wire (SkyView system).
Home brew wingtip NAV/LOC/GS antenna (picks up VORs at 100+ miles).
ELT antenna under the empennage fairing.
GTN-650 GPS antenna and SkyView integrated GPS antenna and receiver mounted on
top of the glare shield.
Marker beacon antenna is a 31 piece of wire running under the engine with tie wraps,
connected at the firewall via a BNC bulkhead connector. While this works
well, I will never again put a marker beacon receiver in an airplane.

GPS and XM - Under the cowling just forward of the firewall on a custom
shelf
COM1/COM2 - Right behind each rear seat in the baggage floor next to
step bolts with access plate in baggage floor.
NAV - wiskers at top of VS. Initially under fuselage tail under HS, but
had extreme shadowing there so moved up top.
MKR BCN - inside right wingtip (IMHO no need anymore with
decommissioning and other legal means of identifying)
ELT- under empennage fairing
XPDR/ADSB-Out (Garming gtx330 with ES conversion) one antenna under
right front seat floor.
-Sean #40303 (wow, almost time for 5th condition inspection, time flies)

Note,
Location of IFR WAAS GPS under the cowl is of questionable legality and
may impair performance. TSO requires full view of horizon in all
directions, which is hard to do unless it is on top of fuselage or
cabin. Nobody is going to check whether you follow the instructions for
install on certified planes...only you have to decide what you are
comfortable with. I have Dynon VFR GPS under cowl, and Garmin IFR
antenna on top of the cabin.

Thanks! No issues with talking to tower on the ground with belly antennas? Im
planning to go Skyview as well. No more marker beacons because GPS supplants
the need for them?
