Posted for "Jim Cameron" <toucan@78055.com>:

     I'm wondering what the consensus is among flying Legacy's on whether to 
use two external COM antennas, or a single antenna with "diplexer."  The only 
such gizmo I've found is the Comant CI 605, which seems to retail for around 
$700, give or take.  Seems like a lot for a fancy switch, given that a second 
antenna is around a hundred and change.

     For those with the "diplexer," how's it work?  And for those with 2 COM 
antennas, where'dja put the second one?

     That was one advantage of the ES:  since it's all E-glass, you can hide 
any number of antennas inside the skin.  With the slick lines of the Legacy, 
I'd hate to see it end up looking like a hedgehog with antennae bristling up 
all over.
