 Posted: Thu Sep 26, 2019 3:51 pm Post subject: Use old VOR antenna for handheld radio? |
 |
|
I have a Yaesu handheld radio that has both VHF comm and nav capability. The plane has what i believe is a VOR antenna with the cable coming to the cockpit, but the VOR receiver is no longer installed. Can that antenna be used instead of the rubber ducky antenna on the handheld? And if so, what kind of extension cable should I get since the plane's cable stops under/behind the panel which isn't conducive to using the handheld unit? John

The VOR antenna will work much
better than the 'rubber-duck'
on the hand held in spite of the
fact that it's not optimized for
communications.
You'll need to fabricate an
extension coax that brings the
end out to a convenient length
for hooking it to the hand-held.
Do you plan to use a headset/mic
with the h-h or are you intending
to use its native speaker/mic?

I plan on using a headset and mike using their headset adapter vs. the handset built ins. Are there pre-fab extension cables? I don't have a crimper to fabricate one.
