| Quote: | Hello Bob N. and group,
Lancair 320 Com Antenna Question:
I installed [3 years ago during v-stab build] one each com antenna and
coax. This antenna is the black flexible printed-active-element style with
the included (?) ground plane also printed parallel to the active-element.
Antenna is installed/sandwiched-in-e glass cloth and resin in a almost
vertical orientation inside glass v-stab. The plane is not flying yet. I
have tested the antenna function and found to work properly for short
distances, at home.
Before I close the v-stab "forever," I would like to install a standard
com whip antenna in the same v-stab, for T/R insurance in case the newer
style [company no longer in business] fails to perform once flying. Will a
disconnected SS (metal) whip antenna that is not connected to any coax,
acccept a wire mesh ground plane, interfere (act as an unwanted
grounded/reflector radiator) with the function of newer style flexible com
antenna? Or should my "spare com antenna" be mounted elsewhere in the
fuselage or wing tips?
FWIW: THe Nav antenna is a copper-foil V, mounted against the top inside
of the fusealge behind the roll-over (!) cage, with a TNC connector.
Thanks very much as always, for any "been there, done that" replies.
