John,
 
I'm going with COM1, COM2, NAV/GS, and probably GPS = internal,=20 and transponder external, and the MKR wherever I can fit it (hopefully=20 internal).  Hopefully metallic or pearl paints won't kill the VHF=20 performance.  Some places I plan on visiting fairly regularly = involve=20 flying into or transitioning an ADIZ, so I'm not taking any chances with = masking=20 or interference from pushrods or other metallic components.  Get a = small=20 enough transponder antenna, mount it far enough back, the boundary layer = is=20 probably thick enough that the disruption to the airflow (and resulting = drag)=20 will be minimal.  If I had to do it over again, I'd strongly=20 consider put the transponder ant. in the open wing = bay.

I=92m interested in your opinions relative = to internal=20 versus external antennas.  Do you give up=20 clarity/range/dependability/accessibility burying an antenna inside = the plane,=20 or does it matter?
