Big John
shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-Jim
-
-The Radom's we used in military were transparent to the radar
-frequencies. You couldn't just take a can of Krylon and paint them. If
-damaged, was a special way of repairing.

Exactly my point. There is a tremendous difference between C and X band radar
and low L band transponders. Making generalities such as the prior poster did
without having done the work is the worst sort of conjecture.

The answer is that you CAN take a can of Krylon of the correct mix and paint
them. You can't take just ANY can of Krylon without knowing what you are doing.
And the damage required baking to eliminate entrapped water before you glassed
the damage.

-There must be data available on effect of glass, cloth and paints,
-etc., on RF transmission/reception?

Yes, and we did it for Bellanca when we designed their internal antenna system.
