Transponder & ADS-B antennas

I know this seems like an odd place to ask about antennas, but only 750s with Viking engines (and accompanying radiators) will have this problem: where do you place your ADS-B (echo UAT) monopole antenna and where do you place your transponder (GXT 327) monopole antenna?  We only have a flat bottom surface under the seats and it would seem like the radiator would interfere with the signals and there is hardly enough room for both antennas.Eric 750 CruzerSee More

Eric,

I installed the compass ( SP 6 or 7) not sure which one on a bracket which hangs down below the dashboard and behind the center console. Looks like it would work. I wanted it on the center line of the fuselage but notice as usual most others do not worry about centering it. Not sure which video but its on one of then thanks.
