Default Archer wingtip antenna and GS

Does the Archer VOR antenna receive glide slope. Interested in others feedback about this antenna.
Thanks,
Aaron

It's my understanding it does, but I'm not 100% certain. I hope someone else chimes in with full confirmation ... I too am in the market for the Archer wingtip VOR antenna.

Default Depends...

The antenna works, but you may need a splitter, depending on the radio. See this thread:

Yep, works just fine for LOC and GS with a splitter to the GNS430.

The SL30 only has 1 nav antenna input. Yes the GS and nav works on the SL30 with only one Archer VOR antenna. If you have one of the radios that requires a separate antenna for GS, you will need a splitter.

I just received an email from Bob Archer. He said the antenna does receive glide slope. Also the antennas are a lot less expensive if you purchase directly from him.
