If the ELT goes off..that comm antenna will be pretty much the last
worry you have. Go with the 3 feet or the best you can do.

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

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

That is cool, and it only talks about COM freq range antenna. However, if
wishes were fishes, my antenna would be back there also.

See you in Mt. Vernon - 2004 - KR Gath
no flat place that will accommodate a 36 in diameter ground plane
It would be nice to know the requirements before buying stuff like this.
I am not sure that the ground plain needs to be perfectly flat - I have
seen some that have consisted of 3/4" wide brass or copper strip

Another issue that I discovered after sending the message is that it
requires a ground plane with a minimum diameter of 36". If I go behind the
seat, there is no flat place that will accommodate a 36" in diameter ground
plane.
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
