Satelite Receiver Position 7200

[Hooch]

Guys, have put AR7200 on TREX500. All is working well after a dozen flights but just a quick question??

I have put main receiver on rec tray with aerials out the back horizontal. Satelite is on the side of the frame next to the boom block so aerials are in the vertical. This puts the two aerials quite close to each other (tips are approx 2cm apart). Is this a problem??:confused: My understanding is that the xtra sat receiver is to reduce the chance of shadowing (always having at least one aerial in view) rather than increasing quality of signal but I was wondering if there is any problem having the aerials TOO close together??

Regards,

I've heard that the 2 receivers should be 2 or more "inches" apart.
1 horizontal and 1 vertical antenna placement

Antennas should be no closer than 2 inches apart.

And the two sets of antennas should be 90 degrees to each other.

Thanks guys. Will look at shifting them a little further apart. Where is everybody putting them??
