I am
trying to mount the last antennal into the plane - the ELT antenna. I
have
the ACK ELT and their antenna. Their instructions say to mount it 5'
from
other antennas with a 6-pole 18" radius (36" diameter) ground plane. I
do
not a location that meets those requirements!
Questions for those who
have mounted the antenna.
What did you use for the
antenna?
Where did you mount it?
What kind
of ground plane did you use?
1. Foil "Z" shaped VFH (for 121.5) antenna.
2. Mounted vertically internally on the sidewall just behind the baggage
bulkhead and slightly forward of the shelf supported ACK ELT in my glass
320.
3. None.
Does it work? Yep, EMI tripped the ELT in Sedona, AZ and the
sattellite found me in one pass! I have not tried an accident yet.
