antenna wiring

[rwarre]

Trying to make to sure I don't have interference when I run my antenna wires.
How critical is it to avoid coax next to other wires in a bundle? I have the Archer wingtip antenna running through the wing next to the strobe power, taxi and landing lights. I am planning on running the coax from the left wing to the middle of the main spar, then route it to the radios.

i have my coax cables running in the same bundle as other wires. I do not seem to have any problems. I did seperate my strobe wires from the coax. Although both wires were shielded, it seemed like a good idea to keep them seperate.

Theoretically it shouldn't matter, but as an Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer, I have encountered interference from strobes on both military and civil transport aircraft. My adivce is to keep the strobe wiring seperated from other wires, particularly audio and RF. I wouldn't worry too much about ther other stuff.
