Gentlemen:
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
My communication radio antenna for my Allegro 2000 is mounted on the centerline of the fuselage aft of the bulkhead that is just behind the seats. Since the fuselage of the Allegro 2000 is a fiberglass composite construction, I have used aluminum tape in an “X” pattern on the inside of the fuselage to obtain a ground plane for the antenna. My ECK Model E-01 ELT unit requires its antenna to be mounted at least 5 feet from any other radiating antenna. Practically, this means that the ELT antenna has to be mounted some where on top of one of the wings using the aluminum as its ground plane. I am wondering where some of you have mounted your ELT antennas.

Hugh,
Our Com Antenna is located in the same place your is. Our ELT is
mounted on the baggage compartment removable floor between the aileron
control and the flaps control as far forward as possible. That might
not be quite five feet away from the Com Antenna but they both work
very well. The Icom A-200 Radio works great and I know the ELT works
because we accidentally bumped the switch to on and got a call later
from the Search and Rescue folks. AND it was inside a completely closed
metal hangar! It is a good location because you can reach it in flight
if necessary.

Thom:
I understand where you have located the actual ELT Transmitter unit, but
where have you mounted its antenna?
