Dme Antenna Cable

Hi, On my 73G there was a blade antenna attached to the rear of the aircraft on the bottom in front of the VG and just inboard of the gear door. I am assuming it was for a DME. I now have ADSB and it would be a great spot for the ADSB antenna in.
Does anyone know where the the cable terminates or how it is routed to the front of the aircraft? I am trying to patch it to the ADSB antenna on my Stratus.
Thanks,
Gord

I think that might be the transponder antenna you are referring to.

Thank you for your reply. I wish it were in the back. My transponder antenna is upfront copilots side. I am concerned there may be some blanketing by the exhast pipe so I had my A&P replace the antenna with the original style rod and ball.

Dme

Likely your DME antenna was after market, but if they installed it correctly, they would have run the antenna cable down behind the center pedestal and down the tunnel of wires and cables down the middle of the belly. It is fairly easy to access (with seat and Carpet out of course) to be able to run a new cable.
