I am installing a GNS430w in my RV-7.
I have a Comant VHF underbelly Antenna for the COM 1 so that is simple. Com 2 (SL40) will be connected to a top mounted Comant VHF Antenna
I have already installed a Bob Archer wingtip Antenna so I plan to use it.
Can anyone advise if I will suffer any noticeable performance reduction if I run the Archer Antenna through a splitter/diplexer to deal with my NAV and GS signal inputs for the GNS 430W?
Has anyone put Bob Archer antennas in both wingtips and connected one to the NAV input connector and the other to the GS input connector - would this result in better performance (the cost is about the same as installing a splitter).
Any other suggestions (I want to avoid installing cats whiskers if possible).
Would be interested in knowing what some of you (with 430's) have done for Antennas and how they perform?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
JON.
