Stratux Antenna Mount for PingEFB and VK162 GPS by larosta

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is an antenna/receiver mount for the Stratux ADS-B IN receiver system. This is intended for use with a PingEFB from uAvionix as well as the VK-162 USB GPS antenna. The unit uses 1-7/8" suction cups fr mounting on the windscreen, side windows, or glare shield of your aircraft. This allows the user to place the Stratux (Rasberry PI) electronics out of the way or behind a panel.
NOTE: I would suggest that the assembly be removed from the plastic windscreen or windows between flights so that it does not damage/deform the plastic window material.

These are the suction cups that I used. The fit in the mount is tight but they do stay in place.

I use a 6' long USB cable for the pingEFB as it is the same length as the GPS receiver cable.
