Marker Antenna Installation

Refer to aircraft and antenna manufacturer's installation instructions, as well as AC43.13-2A (or later revi-
sion), Chapter 3, for information on proper antenna installation techniques. The marker beacon antenna
must be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft.

2.7

Communications Antenna Installation Notes

For best results while in Split Mode, it is suggested that the one VHF communications antenna be located
on top of the aircraft while the other communications antenna be on the bottom. Any antenna relocation
must be accomplished in accordance with AC 43.13-2A, aircraft manufacturers’ recommendations and
FAA-approved technical data.

Warning: It is probable that radio interference will occur in the split mode when the frequencies
of the two aircraft radios are adjacent, and/or the antennas are physically close together. PS Engi-
neering makes no expressed or implied warranties regarding the suitability of the PMA6000 in
Split Mode.
