Hi



After reading this thread, I thought I would revisit my antenna decisions.

Although I have a Bob Archer (uninstalled) antenna, I think the "sold on

whiskers" thread makes this to be a less than optimal antenna choice. 



So my questions are:



* Given a SL30 / GNS 430 WAAS combo, I expect that I will need a TRIPLEXER

to split a single NAV signal into a NAV/GS for the 4030 and a NAV signal for

the SL30 (which I understand has an internal splitter). Is this correct. 



* Is there any difference, other than cost, to the RA Allen and Comant VOR /

LOC / GS antennas. One is $130 and the other $290 ($CDN).   



Inquiring minds need to know....



Cheers

Les,



Actually, to use one antenna for an SL-30 and a GNS-430, you need two separate items.  You need a special splitter for the SL-30 that gives both VOR and G/S to both outlets, because the SL-30 needs both into one antenna connector.  Then you need a Diplexer that splits VOR from G/S and gives them each to a separate antenna connector in the 430.  Stein should be able to tell you the actual parts used.  Unless something has changed, this is how I have had to use one antenna for both the SL-30 and the GNS-430.

I think I heard the new 650 has single hookup like the SL30. You sure

wouldn't want to be hooking up any obsolete stuff in that new

airplane. )

Hi Jessie



Thanks for the info. By any chance would this be what you are referring to

(as a signal splitter so I can use use two radios off one antenna)?

http://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/avpages/comantsplitter5120.php



I already have the GNS430 slitter to split the antenna signal into the the

two 430 inputs.



Regards



Les

From antenna to a Garmin 013-00112-00 

(http://www.avionicsmall.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8183) 

with one output direct to the SL-30 and the other into a Comant CI-507 

diplexer (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/coupler507.php) 

to feed the 430.

Figured I could get a rise.....with all these folks installing bleeding 

edge avionics. I assume you are putting in a trusty ADF or two to 

navigate around your fine country? I was just looking at the route along 

the AlCan Highway and I don't recall it being a dashed line in the past, 

and I didn't see VHF airways that I recall being their in the past.

The picture doesn't look what I used, but the description sounds like exactly what you would need.
