Hi,

Pls be very very very carefull if you place a transponder antenna
inside your cockpit.

The radiation of such antenna is really strong, if you do not want to
have an extreme increased chance on cancer you really need to place
the antenna away from your body.

It's hundreds time more strong than the radioation of a mobile phone,
and if no scientific persons wants to say mobile phones are safe, then
transponder antenna's aren't definately not safe.
a 5 hour flight with the antenna next to your body is the same than 5
hours calling with 100 mobile phones at the same time

I have installed it after the bay doors of my engine, there is 2m and
a engine, fuel tank and 2 carbon wings between me and my
transonderantenna
