In Cockpit WX Choices?

[flyboy0681]

I recently had a GDL-69 installed and interfaced to the GTN-750. The depiction of weather superimposed over the moving map is quite impressive. Going to the Weather page and touching an airport of choice and getting the full METAR is even better, not to mention a complete picture of winds aloft by altitude by simply zooming out is really nice.

I purchased a SkyRadar receiver last month (on special, $900) and have been quite happy with it so far. Coverage excellent on the few trips I've taken. The wiring is not an issue if you get it out of the way - I mounted it with double-stick tape back in the hat rack, all the data comes up to the iPad wirelessly. I'm using WingX to overlay the weather on charts. One of these days I'll put a write up on my blog of a couple trips I've taken with it, screen shots, etc. Just for grins on a recent trip I called the FSS, gave a pirep, and 5 minutes later it was there on the feed of pilot reports for a nearby station. How cool is that?

The best thing, for me, is that this was a one-time purchase. I want income streams coming to me from investments, not going out to XM (other people's investments). Besides we're already paying for it (taxes!)

With it mounted in the hatrack, how do the antennas get a field of view?
