Still thinking inside the box. There is no reason why the TX unit needs to be in the cockpit. It could easily be mounted in the fin with a remote head in the cockpit.

You'd avoid a long RF cable, but would have run 12VDC power and the communication cable to it,
plus provide the access to remove it for repairs. I think mounting the box behind the gear
well, and running 15' of coax to it is easier and work just as well. 15' is not far with good
quality coax.
