What antennae do I need.
Building an IFR machine and am planning dual G3X, G5, and GTN750. Aside from the WAAS antenna which I believe is the GA35, what other GPS antennae would be recommended?

I have a dual G3x with xm system and GTN650.
2 - com 1 - vor/loc/gs 1 - GA35 GPS 1 - GA57X XM/GPS 1 - Transponder 2 - GA26C GPS for GDUs 1 - ELT |
The only thing that could be added to Bob's list is an antenna for a marker beacon, if your audio panel supports one. Roll your own with a 39" wire in a wingtip.

Thanks guys. Four GPS units Bob? Aside from the 35 which goes up top, where did you locate the others? I was thinking I would put one on the undersurface of the overhead console. Glare shield for other two?

The G5 should have a GA26 as well.

"...Four GPS units Bob?..."
The GA35 is for the GTN650 The GA57X is for the GDL51R XM/GPS The GA26C's are for the GDUs. These will go on the glare shield. I will have to ask Stein about the GA26C for the G5... |

If you’re not going buying a G3X with the built-in XM receiver, you can use a GA 56, which can be had used for about $50 from eBay. It’s the same as a 57 without XM.
I have a GA 35 for my GTN and then the GA 56 for the G5. The G3X will get GPS signal from either the GTN via GAD 29 or G5 via CAN bus, so you do not need a separate antenna just for that. BTW, if you use Garmin antennas, you can mount them both 6” apart (CoC) side by side. |
