The SV-ADSB-470 communicates with the SkyView system using serial ports, not
SkyView Network. Thus, the SV-ADSB-470 will not be listed as a device in the list of
SkyView Network devices (such as SV-ADAHRS-200/201, SV-EMS-220/221, etc.)
This is normal.
Antenna Selection and Installation
Dynon Avionics offers a 978 MHz Rod type antenna
suitable for use with the SV-ADSB-470 – P/N 102607-
000. The 978 MHz Rod type antenna is supplied with
a BNC connector. Dynon Avionics does not supply
coaxial cables for this antenna.
The length of the Dynon Avionics 978 Rod type
antenna on the fuselage of the aircraft, base and
whip, is 2.653 inches.
The SV-ADSB-470 requires its own antenna; it cannot share the SV-XPNDR-261/262’s antenna.
The selected antenna should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A UAT-
specific antenna or a SV-XPNDR-261/262 antenna may be used with the SV-ADSB-470.
Antennas available include (but are not limited to):
UAT Antennas

Use of transponder antennas: Because the SV-ADSB-470 is receive-only, and the
transponder frequency is “close” in frequency, any antenna suitable for use with a 1090
MHz transponder will work with the SV-ADSB-470. Again, an antenna cannot be shared
with a 1090 MHz transponder (SV-XPNDR-261/262) and an ADS-B Receiver (SV-ADSB-
470).
The following considerations should be taken into account when siting the antenna:
The antenna should be well removed from any projections, the engine(s) and
propeller(s). It should also be well removed from landing gear doors, access doors or
others openings which will break the ground plane for the antenna.
The antenna should be mounted on the bottom surface of the aircraft and in a vertical
position when the aircraft is in level flight.
Where practical, plan the antenna location to keep the cable lengths as short as possible
