Like the other Comant antenna I have, this one is well built, finish is perfect. I’m still building the plane so will report results when it is installed and operational.

My mechanic told me to buy this one for the 182p after the previous one had cracked through the middle. He put it on in 5 minutes and its great. Does the job.

COM1 transmission was very weak. Replace both antennas (COM1 &2), much improved performance on my C172N. The antennas were an exact fit as the originals.
