I might have to disagree with FLARM's statement, "The FLARM antennas have priority over this [ADS-B] antenna for best placement."

I think that early detection of a 1,000 lb FLARM equipped glider closing at 100kts should probably take a back seat to early detection of a 62,000 lb ADS-B equipped 737 closing at 400kts. Just sayin'

There are caveats to that statement of course. There are low risk and high risk ADS-B traffic areas. But you aren't going to move your (FLARM and ADS-B) antennas around based on where you are flying this week. So I would think that you should place your antenna based on the worse case threat scenario = a high speed and hefty flying bomb. Just sayin'

The reason the Flarm antennas are more critical is because the power of the flarm signal is very low compared to the ADS-B signal.
