Question about Skyhawk antennas
My CFI told me something the other day that just doesn't make sense to me...
Please clarify if you know the answer to this one.
Skyhawks have two radios and two VOR's. Why are there two communications antennas but only one VOR antenna?
Here is what I was told:
One communication antenna is for transmitting and the other is for receiving. Since we only receive VOR, only one antenna is needed to serve both VORs.
BUT...
The Tomahawk that I used to fly had only one radio and only one communication antenna. Wouldn't that mean that that communication antenna is used for both transmitting and receiving?
