<font color="#000000">I have a pair of Archer NAV antennas in the stock
wingletts of my IV-P. Typical station reception is 75-100 Km in the low
flight levels. One thing I did do on my installation was to carefully ground
the ground leg of the antenna to the carbon skin of the wing. I used a
center punch to make some dimples in the aluminum of the antenna which
press into an unpainted area on the mounting flange.</font><font color="#000000"></font>
<p><font color="#000000">One Archer product that did not work out in my
plane was the antenna switch in conjunction with the COM antenna in the
tail. The reception attenuation due to the switch was unacceptable. I would
fall off the squawk of one station before receiving the next. I ended up
removing the switch and adding a belly antenna for COM2. Now I can hear
Palo Alto tower when I'm over Reno.</font><font color="#000000"></font>
