Re: Europa-List: Handheld comm radio

        Hi Svein


        I mounted a Vertex handheld in my panel run through an audio panel. (not
flying yet)


        I have a separate antenna for the Vertex. I have the AAE antenna folded
in half so that it works equally as bad on Nav and Com. Reality is
it probably will function ~ 75% of it being properly orientated. Works a
lot better than the rubber ducky antenna. The antenna is easily removable
so you can work in the back.


        Using a better antenna than the rubber ducky will give you a lot better
results no matter what radio you use.
