What should be used? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the explanation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes that would be correct Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Both. I did have to lower the “minimum” settings in order for it to pick up. I do have it closest to the lowest setting. Radio still shows a weak signal but I can at least talk to the tower now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So turning the lights off in my shop helped out a lot and moving the antenna from how it was mounted. I mounted it temporarily somewhere else and was able to hear ASOS and talk to the tower. Once I get it mounted to the aircraft skin somewhere and get it out of my shop, I think I’ll be good...

SWAG-haha good one. Okay that makes sense. I had the squelch on at first and couldn’t hear anything at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes the ship is in my building and the lights were on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a new radio. Becker AR6201. I can’t do the ELT check. What do you mean SWAG? When you press the Squelch button the static goes away (according to the manual, it suppresses weak signals) when active. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes the shop checked everything. They did the wiring for the radio and transponder (built the harnesses) and put the jacks on for the headsets. Yes it was an “aircraft” avionics shop recommended by our A&P. Only thing I installed so far has been the VHF antenna as shown in the original photo...

Yes. When I disconnect the coax from the antenna, the static goes away. Naturally don’t hear any radio communications Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked the coax when I assembled it too and all seems to be good. I tried two different coax cables and they both have the same effect. Static. Now when I have the coax plugged into the back of the radio the multimeter will “ring” when I touch the center pin to the outside casing. Is that...

I tried two different coax cables from the radio to the antenna , same thing happens. I only have a 3 ft run from the radio down to the antenna. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. So if I mounted it directly to the aircraft skin, that would give a proper size ground plane? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes the cable was connected when I have the static lol. Yes the mating surface on the antenna to that little mounting plate is clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The antenna before was mounted back on the tail and was poorly done with a cheap antenna. How much would that affect mounting is horizontally based vertically? I did that because it sits low to the ground vertically. Is the piece of metal I attached it to not big enough? The metal that the...

Good evening! I recently had my new radio and ADSB installed (wired), I did the hardware mounting and etc. everything works great with the intercom and such (Becker AR6201). I had to buy a new VHF antenna (Comat CI-122). I mounted that antenna myself and made my coax lines (RG400). When I hook...
