Receive only antennas such as ADF and GPS do not produce interference and
require little separation. The XM antenna should be placed as close as possible
to these types of antennas to gain separation from transmitters.
NOTE:
This installation manual does not contain approved data for type specific aircraft antenna
installations.
NOTE:
Installation pre-testing is advised if this installation is being performed on several similar
aircraft such as a fleet. A pre-test can be performed by mounting the antenna on a piece of
aluminum sheet, approximately 24” in diameter or square, to serve as a temporary ground
plane. This antenna assembly would then lay on the aircraft skin near the proposed
installation location for an active ground test prior to cutting mounting holes. This has
proven both beneficial and cost effective in past fleet installations since all transmit
equipment can be operated and tested for XM receiver interference prior to the actual
installation.
