OK, so I purchased an echo UAT with the SkyFYX unit (not the -EXT model) because that was all anyone had in stock at the time. I don’t mind the extra work mounting two antennas.
That said, the most straight-forward installation in my -9A would be to mount the echoUAT and SkyFYX in the wing, maybe near the pitot tube, with the UAT antenna on the bottom of the wing. And I would like to mount the GPS antenna in the fiberglass wingtip. All of these components would be relatively close to each other, but probably more than six feet from my GTX327 antenna.
Is there a reason I shouldn’t mount everything in the wing/wingtip? I haven’t seen anything where uAvionix says there’s a maximum distance that the echoUAT unit should from my GTX327 for sniffing. The distance probably doesn’t matter, but I’m asking those who know more than I do about these components and making them work successfully.
Thanks for any guidance or things to watch out for that you are willing to suggest. I just want to ask before proceeding with the installation.
