COMANT CI-105 DME XPDR ANTENNA BNC
Was wanting to purchase Comants Experimental version of this Transponder Antenna but there was a long waiting time so I opted for this more expensive certified model. At $160 think it’s bloody mean of Comant to NOT include the washers and nuts for installation.

I like the fast service and talking to someone that knows what they are talking about. Dale
thank you for keeping these in stock, I think I order at least 1 a week!
Appreciate always having this in stock, something we order all the time!
Solved my Xponder issues. Easy mounting.
Very Good product, Very Good processing by Sprice.
Just a note this does not come with a backer plate or mounting nuts. Those must be obtained elsewhere.
Had to replace the original when I bumped it with my knee while cleaning the underside of my plane. They are tender to side pressure. Im giving it 4 stars because it should come with nuts and washers.
