I purchased and installed a=20 trafficscope VRX. I am waiting on the antenna

the l= ike=20 seeing "through" our glass planes. Could this antenna possibly

Traffic monitors receive your transponder replies and compares them=20= to=20 others for the altitude determination from the Mode C altitude squawk and=20 distance from the signal strength. Any transponder antenna is appropri= ate=20 since the monitor is working in the transponders frequency range. = =20 Reception is sensitive to antenna orientation and to blockages such as=20 those from the engine, carbon spar caps and people.

Since my Lancair had little space at the top of the dust shield, I first=20 placed the antenna vertically on the hat shelf. This arrangement worke= d=20 so-so until I had a passenger along, then it worked less than so-so - especi= ally=20 for traffic out in front and below. My transponder antenna is on the=20 bottom of an outboard wing panel so the latest iteration was to mount a Coma= nt=20 high speed blade antenna on the bottom of the other wing. This arrange= ment=20 seems to work well for me since the only interference between the two antenn= ae=20 is my pitot or the gear when extended in the airport environment - a time wh= en I=20 don't want the monitor to be bleeping away anyhow.
