Paul,

Nice page and info. Thanks!

I am wondering about the antennae in the brick version.

It says: "remote antennas". Is the intent that the antennae be
attached directly to the brick or be remote *to* the brick (as
in transponder installations)?

Either way, it raises interesting installation challenges.

If attached to the brick, of course it raised questions about how
good reception/transmission will be if the brick is installed in/
behind
the instrument panel (together with a bunch of other metallic
objects).

If remote to the brick, the challenge is similar to a transponder,
routing
coax, finding a good place for the antennae, securing them, orienting
them, etc.
