Hi Bill
I have the normal Europa copper tape Di-pole on the stern post and a Bob Archer
Just behind the D panel Port side, To be Honest the Copper tape antenna works
much better, Have read ATIS at over 70NM with a Xcom and about 50NM with the
Garmin SL30 using the Bob Archers,
regards
Ivor

than I can follow. The volume of this data possibly suggests the amount
of not easily solved problems with antennas. I thought I had come to an
installation
solution that would bypass most if not all the potential problems
until I read that some are having trim servo interference problems with the comm
antenna. I had intended to install the Archer "v" configuration antenna in
the fin and a second "s" configuration comm antenna on the fuse side rear of
the baggage compartment. The Archer information says inside the fin is the
ideal
place for a glass plane considering it needs to be placed in a vertical plane.
My transponder antenna is to be on the rear fuse bottom side, reasonably
far away from the cockpit.

proper shielded cable and also staying as far as possible from other vertical
metal objects and mindful of establishing adequate grounding for each component.
