TED 104-17 Aircraft 978 MHz ADS-B Post Antenna Made in USA

Description

TED 104-17 monopole (post) 978 MHz ADS-B antenna.
This is a genuine Made-in-USA TED product, not an offshore counterfeit. Beware of popup sellers!
NEW in factory-sealed bag with all mounting hardware and sealing gasket!
This is the optimal antenna for 978 MHz UAT and ADS-B receiver external antenna operations. While a 1090 MHz transponder antenna will work in UAT applications, this 978 MHz antenna exhibits more optimal performance, and is recommended.
I've sold over 300 of these online with complete buyer satisfaction! My volume means lower prices for you--the lowest shipped price on the net! Why pay high specialty pilot store prices???
Specs:
Insulator: Annealed Teflon (superior)
Rod: Nickel-plated brass
Connector type: BNC female (most common) with gold center pin
Impedance: 50 ohm
VSWR: 1.2:1 (very power efficient) over 978 MHz ADS-B band
Max airspeed: 250 KIAS
Frequency: 978 MHz
Need more than one? Quantity discounts?
I keep hundreds of antennas in stock to meet your quantity needs.
Other features:
The dielectric (insulating) material extends out of the connector body for easier cleaning and lower loss, plus it is Teflon!  Works great to replace that antenna that has been bent one too many times, or has gotten too dirty to clean. Or, an older antenna where the dielectric material has started to break down, causing high losses and ATC to tell you they can't "see" you anymore. This antenna is made in the USA.
Compatibility Questions?
Guaranteed compatible with all general aviation 978MHz UAT or receiver equipment where the cable from the equipment ends in the common male BNC connector.
This antenna fits in place of most previous monopole rod antenna installations with no modification.
Contact me and your A&P or avionics shop for suggestions on mounting to composite or fabric-covered aircraft, for best coverage. I'll take any other application questions as well!
Installation tool now available:
I now have a loaner punch tool available in the US for making perfect clean 1/2 inch holes on an aluminum-skinned aircraft, or to assist in making a ground plane disk hole for fabric or composite aircraft. This offer is available to US domestic buyers only. Subject to deposit and tool availability. Contact me for details. I will also refer buyers to suitable punch tools currently on ebay auction, on request.
I also have cables and connectors!
Please see my other aviation-related auctions!
Need it quick?
Caught on the ground in Class B airspace with a broken antenna? If your need is urgent, I will also ship overnight via your choice of carriers! I'm a pilot too, and understand what it is like being trapped on the ground for a part failure.
