When I was working with Stein to build my panel my plan was to have the system capable of both WAAS GPS and VOR/ILS navigation/approaches. I have one of those Bob Archer antennas in my wingtip for this purpose.
I'm ready to connect all my antennas (there are a lot of them) into the system and I think everything is pretty self-evident, except for my NAV antenna. There are no connectors on either the GTN650 or the GDU460 displays for a NAV antenna. The GTN650 has a BNC connector for "COM" and a TNC connector for "GPS". The backs of the GDU460 displays have a BNC connector for "Video" and another for "GPS". Again, no connector for a NAV antenna.
I looked through the installation manuals for both the GTN650 and the G3X systems and couldn't find an answer to this question. In appendix E of the GTN650 manual there were a few different antenna configurations for which they offered advice, but none fit my setup. The best I could mine from Appendix E was that perhaps I need to use a diplexer to tie together the GPS and VOR/ILS antennas? There's probably a simple solution but I couldn't find it in the installation manuals. They seem to be written for those already well-versed in avionics, but I'm not one of them so if the answer is there I didn't pick up on it. Anyone else have to solve this same problem? What's the solution?
