I place the Skyradar unit on top of the bar across the fuselage behind the seats, in my -7. I have the dual antenna unit, and reception is excellent. No need for remote antenna, in my opinion. I also use it in my Bonanza, and mount it in the rear of the baggage area on the hat shelf. Works great, which I was not sure of until many flights, in that location. Mfg says it just needs to be at or above the window height.
I have WingXPro and Skyradar's app. Both are excellent. Skyradar app also shows traffic....however, my use is primarily Weather. Not sure the traffic coverage is quite there yet.
I have now dumped XM Weather, and its frequent need for Refresh signals, monthly fees, and awful customer service. So far, I'm delighted with the ADS-B coverage here in the East (TN-NC-GA-SC). Have not had a single interruption of service, failure, or problem with ADS-B on Skyradar and Ipad.
