Bob Archer makes a com antenna especially for RV wingtips. In the 10 you
can stand it up almost vertically. I've been very happy with the
performance. That said, it's on my no. 2 com. No. 1 is a bent whip on the
belly.
Some people have had problems with the Archer com antennas interfering with
a TT autopilot, to the point of actually inducing significant control
inputs. Yikes. I've never seen that in my plane but I understand the
problem is pretty well understood now and TT should be able to point out the
cure. It has to do with installing a filter on the d-sub at the control
head.

Yeah, that's why it's my COM2. My only external antenna is a Comant on
the belly which will be hooked up to the SL30. Com2 will be on the
430. We'll see how that works.
Much of what I'm doing is guided by the experience with the Maule. I
use the KX155 Nav/com for primary communciations. The com on the 300XL
is only used occassionally for ground when I'm setting up for a busy,
unfamiliar airport. For in the cockpit, pre-takeoff flight planning, I
sometimes only turn on the 300XL to load the course and open the plan
while keeping the Nav/comm off to save the battery. I'm thinking I'll
do the same with the SL30 and the 430W.

Don't know if anyone mentioned the ARINC 429 box from AFS. It will also need to go behind the panel.

Good point Bob... the general panel plan is this:
AFS Advanced Deck EE
AFS 3400 EE
GNS 430W
SL-30
GTX-330
PMA-9000EX
TruTrack DIgiFlight IIVSGV
The Alternator will be the 60 amp Plane Power
