After flying with the Stratux ADS-B In receiver for a few months, I liked it
and decided to build it into the plane. Mounting an inexpensive ($17)
external ADS-B antenna on the belly pretty far back in the tailcone and
connecting to the unit via RG400 cable did wonders for improving the unit's
reception compared to the folding telescoping antennas that it comes with.
And although I spent a bit more trying various components that I didn't end
up using, if one wanted to start from scratch, everything needed to build
and install it would be less than $270. I put together a web page with
details including parts and price list for anyone who might be considering
this for their -10:

As always, YMMV and there are lots of alternative ways to get this
accomplished. Was quite happy with how this turned out, since it basically
tripled the number of towers the unit sees in most locations.
