hi,
bought a used ELT antenna a while ago, intending to use it as a COM2 with an icom200 panel mount.
one of the typical rods that usually get mounted on the back of the aircraft, with a few windings close to the tip.
anyone see a problem with that?
figured it should work since 121.5 is exactly in the center of the band. or is it going to be too short?
we intend to use the com2 primarily for receiving and short distance tx like formation / on the ground etc...
planned to install it on the small deck just behind the rollbar (tipup -7a) and bend it along the rollbar...
thanks for opinions, suggestions and info
