Wondering if I could get opinions on the least evil antenna placements on my Europa XS Monowheel. Have a Bob Archer "E" style com #1 antenna in vertical fin for Becker com.The question I have is about placement of my Vertex handheld (panel mounted) nav com antenna. It is an AAE that will be bent in half at 90 degrees so it should work equal as bad on nav as it does on com (AAE said it should work about 70% of proper orientation for each)I have a 121.5 / 246 ELT antenna mounted on floor aft of D panel in baggage bay and will have AAE transponder antenna mounted at least 20" away (aft) of AAE nav com antenna for Becker 250 watt mode C transponder.Now for opinion needed, A or B:A) Mount AAE nav com on starboard side which place it 22" away from ELT antenna (same frequency) but allow the RG400 antenna wire to go forward at 90 degrees for 22", then down at a 45 degree angle for 1 foot, then a 45 degree and forward for a long ways. Thus this routing puts antenna closer to ELT but has a friendlier wire exit.B) Place AAE nav com antenna 28" away from ELT which is 6" further away from ELT compared to A, but exiting wire run is not as friendly:The RG 400 antenna wire can exit at 90 degrees for 22", then go down at a 45 degree angle for 1 foot, then needs to make a 90 degree angle horizontal for 29" (this will be parallel to the nav half of the antenna about 32" away), than make a 90 degree angle and go forward for a long ways.OK what is the least evil, A or B? Or any ideas welcome on a choice "C"Thanking you in advanceRon Parigoris [quote][b]
