<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>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wish me luck,</FONT></DIV>
