I'm running a center fed dipole off the A connector on my Powerflarm portable. Noticeable improvement in range over the stubby antenna. This is just the $30 or so antenna from Rich at Craggy and definitely works better than the stock antenna, but still lacks the sensitivity I think people get with the Core.

Have seen lots of comments about where and how to mount PowerFLARM antennas. Any stories of the effect of changing the TYPE of antenna used: e.g., from (in my case) the short, stubby Portable PowerFLARM rod antenna to, say, the center-fed dipole that comes with the core?

The question is with regard to the FLARM antenna only (not ADS-B or GPS), and specifically on its effect on receive range.

Primarily interested in commercial-off-the-shelf components but have built various antennas in the past and not averse to doing so again. Thx.
