Safe distance between PowerFLARM and Mode-C antenna
Hi Soaring,
Our club glider (a Grob G-102) is about to get a new PowerFLARM portable unit, which we're planning to install on the top of the instrument panel because of the good visibility of the display. I've noticed that the Mode-C transponder antenna is also on the top of the instrument panel. There's probably enough space for the PowerFLARM unit, but my concern is that the Mode-C transponder transmits with high power pulses (up to 400 watts), which could instantly destroy the sensitive and delicate RF input stages of the PowerFLARM. Is there an established safe distance that should be maintained between the Mode-C antenna and the PowerFLARM unit or antennas? Are there any guideleines or experience on this? I haven't found anything in the manual. Thanks, Marton
