replacement of course... he's gonna go to extend that new antenna like the old
and yank it right out...lol. I've tried to extend mine once. Of course I've also
forgotten to extend my 72 once, but caught it in the turn.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

my 9C for months now and I love it. I'm curious to know what maintenance
issues you suggest could come up with the antenna? <BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just got an 8 channel module for my 9C radio
and finding it quite a different experience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like the idea of not having and external
antenna, but arranging the internal routing can present a few challenges.
Can't understand why they deviated from having the flight pak plug into
channel 8 (it's between 3 & 4). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems to work O.K. and if the manual can be
believed, the range must be quite extroadinary. There is a very small button
on the back of the module that loads the output signal when pressed,
supposedly diminishing the output power to a value similar to lowering your
regular antenna and they specify that you should be able to retain signal
integrity at 30 - 50 paces. Well after installing the system in
my new airplane I got 400 feet while depressing the button and I still had
solid contact, but had to give up as I did the test on the street in front
of my house and I was starting to move around a corner and was losing
visual.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When you realize all this from that measley
little 4" antenna, it's almost jaw-dropping. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With time I would anticipate some maintenance
issues with those pesky little internal antennas, but hopefully, in the
meantime nobody should be able to shoot me down.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It wasn't too bad of a deal with the
$30 discount from Tower.</FONT></DIV>
