Working out antenna locations for my standard build RV10, trying to keep open the possibility of installing a MotoPod. If I am understanding correctly, to meet legal requirements and take full advantage of ADSB, I will need both a transponder antenna and a UAT antenna. To keep these separated, I am looking at installing the transponder antenna under the front left of the fuselage (under the pilots feet), and the UAT antenna around the area where the battery is mounted in the tail cone. I have seen one reference that the transponder antenna needs to be at least 3' physical straight line distance from the transponder unit itself. Is this correct? Any advice? For COMM I am looking at putting one under a wing, and one on top, with a NAV antenna in a wingtip.
