ADS-B Antenna Radome

thingiverse

This remix was done to eliminate the need for separate PVC and cap parts. Removed the through mounting holes and added a radome section. Also lengthened the mounting section as mine has to be mounted a bit down the mast. The additional length will pull it away from the mast. Build with 68mm of wire on the center pin of a PL259 or Type N connector. This will go inside the radome. Add 4 radials of 68mm off each of the mounting holes, bent at a 45-degree angle. The mounting holes are 15mm deep. This is a typical ground plane antenna. I am surrounded by trees on my property, but this little antenna performs well. My test part was printing with PLA, but can use PETG if used outdoors. Spray paint will seal the PLA as well.
