Two questions
I am thinking of setting up my spare handheld a bit more permenantly in my aircraft. I always take it on European trips and it earned its money on my last trip when what I am now calling box one (don’t i sound posh) failed. I will probably not run it through the intercom but I will probably sort power and it’s own antenna. It will only ever be one or the other.
1
If I fit a second antenna and join the two together, will that give me more radio range on whichever unit I am using.
2
Is my redundant VOR antenna any use (radio or Pilot Aware) the cable is still in and I could always fit the second antenna to replace the VOR one in the tail.
Thanks in advance
