Troy,
---From personal experience I would advise very strongly against
purchasing a Terra radio. I tried for nearly two years to make one
work satisfactorily and in the end ripped it out (along with a Terra
transponder) to be replaced with an Icom panel mount radio and a
Garmin transponder (both of which have performed absolutely perfectly
since installation).
Incidentally, I am using Bob Archer antennas for both the radio and
the transponder and performance seems very good.
IMHO If you buy Terra you will regret it.

PS If anyone wants the Terra radio and transponder (perhaps for spares)
please get in contact.
