Paul, thanks for some good info. One more question, does the brick use the same stub antennas as the portable? If not, can the brick antennas be used with the portable (i.e. remotely)

The brick has three antennas: a GPS puck, a TXP/ADS-B 1090 receiving
antenna (dipole) and a Flarm TX/RX antenna (dipole). The two dipoles
are physically similar, but have different connectors. Mounting, as
others have emphasized, is key to performance. I see flarm traffic
out to about 6 miles front and sides, 2 miles or so at 6 o'clock. I
have my antennas mounted using plastic stock cut from cheap Walmart
magazine organizers which is adequate for the moment. At some point
I'm sure I''ll be inspired to do something a little more robust.
