Garmin 430W antenna?

What other antennas are required on the 430W besides the Nav (VOR), GPS, & Comm?

That's all, but the WAAS capable antenna (GA-35) is a little bigger than the old GA-56 GPS antenna. The good thing is that the bolt pattern is the same. The 430 install manual says that you could use the GA-56 antenna (if you had one installed already) but there are limitations on the usage of the 430W.

there's actually a fourth -- glideslope.

You can buy a diplexer that splits the NAV antenna into seperate VOR and glideslope signals for the 430.

ACS sells the Comand CI-507
