New In Package! Aircraft Transponder / Dme Post Antenna on 2040-parts.com

NEW in factory-sealed bag with all mounting hardware and sealing gasket!

I've sold over 4000 of these online with complete buyer satisfaction! My volume means lower prices for you--the lowest shipped price on the net! Why pay high specialty pilot store prices, wait for an auction to end, or outbid some sellers' high reserves???

Specs:

• Insulator: Annealed Teflon (superior)
• Rod: Nickel-plated brass 
• Connector type: BNC female (most common) with gold center pin
• Impedance: 50 ohm (all GA transponders)
• VSWR: 1.2:1 (very power efficient) over transponder band 
• Max airspeed: 250 KIAS
• Frequency: Covers aviation transponder and DME bands

Need more than one? Quantity discounts?

I keep hundreds of antennas in stock to meet your quantity needs. I will offer discounts for 2 antennas or above--please contact me for details or use eBay's Best Offer function with this auction.

Other features:

The dielectric (insulating) material extends out of the connector body for easier cleaning and lower loss, plus it is Teflon!  Works great to replace that antenna that has been bent one too many times, or has gotten too dirty to clean. Or, an older antenna where the dielectric material has started to break down, causing high losses and ATC to tell you they can't "see" your transponder anymore. This antenna is made in the USA.

Compatibility Questions?

Guaranteed compatible with all general aviation transponders, DME units, and transponder-based anti-collision systems such as Monroy, where the cable from the transponder ends in the common male BNC connector. This antenna fits in place of most previous monopole rod antenna installations with no modification. Contact me and your A&P or avionics shop for suggestions on mounting to composite or fabric-covered aircraft, for best coverage. I'll take any other application questions as well!

Installation tool now available:

I now have a loaner punch tool available for making perfect clean 1/2 inch holes on an aluminum-skinned aircraft, or to assist in making a ground plane disk hole for fabric or composite aircraft. This offer is available to US domestic buyers only. Subject to deposit and tool availability. Contact me for details. I will also refer buyers to suitable punch tools currently on ebay auction, on request.

Need it quick?

Caught on the ground in Class B airspace with a broken antenna? If your need is urgent, I will also ship overnight via your choice of carriers! I'm a pilot too, and understand what it is like being trapped on the ground for a part failure. 

Feedback Policy:

Please--if there is a problem or complaint, tell me so I can try to rectify the problem first! I strive for 5 star performance and a positive buyer experience. If you don't feel comfortable rating me a 5 across the board, please let me know why and give me a chance to fix any issues. Feedback affects my ability to provide affordable antennas more than you might think!
