Thanks Dan, Do you have the specification (plan) of your Com antenna. How does it compare with the standard com antenna? Christo Theron "Maybe some do have internal antenna, but mine has a hand held version of the antenna and one for installation in the aircraft. Here is the visual on the one i

I just acquired an ACK model E-01 ELT. I went with this because it is the most inexpensive way to be legal, I'll upgrade when I begin to do some serious flying out of the valley. My problem is the installation instructions say to mount the antenna 1.6 meters (5') from the comm antenna. My com

Anybody know of a reason why a "rubber duck" antenna wouldn't work on an ELT inside a composite aircraft? Most ELTs have a wire whip or external antenna but a rubber duck would be more compact. If it would work, does anybody have one they want to sell? There don't seem to be any on eBay. Osc

My ELT is a AK-450, I would like to mount the antenna some where out of sight, however the instruction call for a 36 inch ground plane. This is difficult to do in a KR-2. What are some solutions to make a acceptable installation? Is a 36 inch ground plane standard? Thanks: Clay Brod

Clay, I have built many antennas using coaxial cable. The VSWR is less than 1.05 to 1.00. I'm using the same type of antenna for my comm radio. I have written up a blurb on how to make one, install it, and tune it. If you will contact me directly with your e-mail address, I'll send it to you.

I was reading my Terra TX-760D manual today, and it stated an absolute minimum of 21 inches to any other vertical antenna. Fortunately my rudder cables miss it by at least a half inch, so I should be safe there! Maybe that's where the squealing in my headset is coming from every time I key the mi

I thought the pattern from that sort of antenna was more of a doughnut shape, which means directly above the antenna would be one of the weakest places in the pattern ++ Correct = the propagation pattern (in section) for a whip antenna is like a squashed heart shape with the lobes
