I too have the SL30 and find it a great piece of kit. The only thing you
need to be aware of is that it needs calibrating to the VOR/GS receiver
( I forgot and spent months scratching my head as to why it didn't work
properly). It's a bit fiddly as it needs doing throughout the whole 360
degrees, which makes it work very accurately when completed so its worth
the effort. I can pick up my local VOR from 70 miles away at 3500ft...!
As for the antenna I simply use the standard " V" mounted in the rear of
the aircraft as the unit doesn't need anything fancy as it sees straight
through the composite fuselage nav and comm signals work perfectly.

Steve,
I have the SL30 and run it from the copper tape antenna in the rudder
stern
post (Comm) and a copper tape antenna built into the right wing (Nav) -
the
ILS localiser and Glideslope works a treat - no splitters or extra boxes
required.
regards,
Mike
