I am tinkering with fitting aerials into my fuselage. I have a Bob Archer
transponder unit close to the tail bulkhead and will fit a Bob Archer VHF
unit on the fuselage side behind the baggage bay bulkhead.
When listening to my radio in my workshop on FM 101.3 I notice that if my
GPS aerial is within about 4 feet there is noticable interference. Are
there any known restrictions on aerial locations and distances between
differing aerials? I am hoping to fit a GPS aerial in the fuselage roof
somewhere near the old fuel filler position but this may be a bit close to
the VHF aerial.
Any suggestions as to a suitable make of internally mounted GPS aerial for
a Skyforce 2?
I notice that my present GPS aerial is connected with a small outside
diameter co-axial cable with SMC (or something like that) co-axial
connectors. What is the latest thought on suitable aerial co-axial wire and
connectors and can the more modern lightweight higher performance cables be
used?
Thanks for any help. John Bean (kit 23)
