In a word……..no. Cessna 170B, …………….

Cap'n Ron ? :rolleyes:

In my experience you'll need to connect to an external antenna plus a headset adapter is pretty near essential.

Was that before or after the resurrection?

Your glideslope antenna is aiming for the 1000' markers. On a large airplane that could put the landing gear on the runway considerably before that.
