    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.
