Bob...thanks for all this info...sounds like an exquisite
installation...I have a couple questions, inserted and indented below.

I take it the coax is on the centerline of the "roof" (not the floor)
of the fuselage.
> I have an AAE VHF-5T mounted vertically on the port side window

Why two?...Are you running dual Navs? Are you IFR equipped?
(Note: The Aviator's Guide to GPS sez the FAA's phase-out of the
whole VOR/DME network is expected to be complete
by 2010...or has
that been postponed?)

Is this antenna superimposed over the coax from the Big E?

better safe than sorry

please let us know

indeed it does, especially for this RF-challenged guy...thanks again
