Default Best 3 antennae combo for PowerFLARM?


I find many aftermarket 916MHz PowerFLARM antennae but no aftermarket PowerFLARM ADS-B antennae tuned to 1090MHz. Besides the stock PowerFLARM ADS-B dipole, are there other 1090MHz ADS-B antennae worth considering?


Recall that the FLARM antenna tuning is much more critical since FLARM transmitted power is 0.010 watts (Portable) and 0.018 watts (CORE), and the transmitted power of transponders is 150 or 250 watts (Becker ad). The stock Mode C/S/ADS-B antenna works great with ranges beyond anything you'd ever want to display.
