Garmin NavTalk Pilot Installation Manual page 6

The three recommended coaxial cable vendors are PIC, ECS, and EMTEQ.
How to Determine Cable Part Numbers
1. Select a location for the NavTalk Pilot transceiver. From this location, determine the desired
connection location to the cradle cable.
2. Determine the location for the antenna. The antenna should be installed on the bottom of the aircraft
on a level location, not on an upslope. Mounting the antenna on the tail slope will cause antenna
shadowing at certain attitudes and degrade system performance. See antenna installation guidelines for
further information.
3. Determine the length of the coaxial cable needed. The length should include distance needed for
service loops, and should include the connectors.
4. Look up the total coaxial cable length required in the table below. Part numbers for coaxial cable are
listed from PIC Wire and Cable, ECS and EMTEQ.
5. Call your preferred cable vendor and give them the length of cable, the cable type and which type of
connector that you wish (straight or 90°).
The Cellular Antenna cable must be tested (total cable loss no more than 1.5dB@900 MHz and VSWR less
than 1.4:1) as an assembled unit. Remind the vendor that this must be done to assure optimal system
performance. Retain certificate for performance verification.
