MBDiagMan
Final Approach
I have procured an early tech whip marker beacon antenna out from under an old Cessna 310. From what I have read, recommendations are to mount all antennas at least two feet from other antennas.
My mechanic, who admittedly has only a fundamental avionics knowledge wants to mount it off to the side of the ELT antenna. Both of them will be on the underbelly. He is going to help me rivet a doubler where I will mount it, so he is concerned about access for driving the rivets. He is saying that the frequencies are different enough that it won't be a problem and he might be right. The MB is 75 MHz while the ELT is 121.5 and 243 MHz, not harmonic with 75.
Any experience with this?
Thanks for any comments and sharing of experience.
