The same could be said for a handheld gps mounted on your leg plenty of
shielding from the Aircraft , depending on the position of sats to the
reciever........ having said that a hand held vhf radio will also fall into
this catagory, infact just about any radio Tx or Rx device will be effected
in loss of signal strenght somewhere.
If the product works straight out of the box and is slapped on your
glareshield with a little dedgredation of signal strength which still is
withing the allowable limits then it has been sold or advertised correctly,
If the owner/pilot is aware that if you want a little bit of extra signal
the buy a external antenna.......same applies to GPS's or VHF's
Nigel keep up the R+D work.

What are you going on about Mike? No one said the existing antenna was not
working and it is fine for most installations out of the box which is what
we have used for the last 14 months. In some cases Carbon fibre fuses can
block SOME of the signal, not all of it AND in some cases cross
polarization
has an effect - BUT does not stop the signal, it reduces the range
