coljones Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Roscoe, The Jab manual at http://www.jabiru.net.au/Manuals/Aircraft%20Technical/JTM001-4.pdf shows how to install a second antenna. You can also install a second VHF if you have a spare spot on the panel (or somewhere). Have a look at Brett's plane and see the 2nd radio he uses for ATIS. If you just want to use a handheld with the 2nd Antenna just run a loose coax fly lead with a joiner or coiled up in a safe but easy to access spot. The Microair gives some advise when running dual transmitters. You might have to check the legality of roll-your-own though. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks Col, yes I see that Aircraft Spruce in the USA sell an Antenna that is designed to be mounted in the fuselage which negates the need to drill holes etc, which could be connected to Com 2. Still thinking about the second Com situation and I do have a spare space next to the existing Com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi all, the problem I was having on transmit was due to poor crimping at antenna connection to radio plus low battery voltage at start up. No probs since both these issues addressed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
