Hello Matt:
On my RV-8, I mounted my transponder antenna on the belly, a little aft of
the main battery location.
It functions very well and I've never had a problem with it.

1. 07:09 PM - ADS600-B vs. Transponder Antenna Locations... (Matt Dralle)

Subject: RV8-List: ADS600-B vs. Transponder Antenna Locations...
Dear Listers,
The manual for the NavWorx ADS600-B says that the normal transponder
antenna and
the UAT antenna "MUST be at least 5 feet apart". On an RV-8, that presents
somewhat of a problem. Realistically, the farthest forward you can mount
a transponder
fin is just behind the main spar under the aileron pushrods. 5 feet
back from that point is right under the rear-mounted battery box! That
means
that the next realistic place is right behind the elevator bellcrank and
behind
bulkhead F-808. The coax w/ TNC connector on one end that comes with the
ADS600-B
is just long enough to make it to the forward position. I was thinking
of mounting the transponder antenna (Garmin GTX-237) in the aft position as
described above and using RG-400.
But that's pretty far back for a transponder antenna. I've never seen one
mounted
there before. Any reason why I wouldn't want to mount it there?
The only other option would be to mount it out on the wing somewhere to
maintain
the 5' separation. But that's even goofier, it seems to me...
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-

I have a fin mounted about 5-6" aft of the rear spar, maybe 8" forward of t
he aft battery location and just on the port side. -This places it under
the rear baggage floor. -Works fine. -I got the fin off ebay for a barg
ain because the front had a relatively large ding from a rock or something.
-Sanded and polished it, looks like new.=0A-=0ABart Filipiak=0Abfilipi
