I'm finally supposed to get my ACK 406 antenna in a few weeks. The advice I got from the factory for mounting and grounding it is as follows. Mount it behind the vanity panel, then use the woven cable on antenna cable to connect it to a bolt going through the firewall, so as to connect it to the stainless steel firewall as a ground plane.

> I'm installing a new 406 ELT.  It comes with a 14" whip antenna that I'd naturally like to mount inside, out of the wind.  The manual calls for building a ground plane with metallic tape, forming 6-8 radials of 24" each.  I'd sure like to know 1) where are others mounting their ELT antenna, and 2) where could you possibly form a 48" diameter ground plane inside the aircraft?  Other options?  Thanks in advance.
