Painting the antenna with anything other than a metallic-based paint (very rare)
will have no measurable effect on the antenna. Stop changing out parts and start measuring. Any avionics shop worth a damn will have either a Bird b-d wattmeter or a VSWR meter. I prefer the Bird, but anything is better than guessing. Jim Jon Kraus shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -Good idea.... For some reason in '98 when they painted the aircraft -they thought painting the antenna's was a brilliant idea too.... Maybe -that has something to do with it and the 170B handles it better..
