Second question:  I am not getting any NAV signal to my Garmin 480 and the

SL-30 is very weak, usually non-existent as I cruise around trying different

stations.  They are on separate antennas, one Bob Archer antenna in each

wingtip.  Any suggestions to improve the reception would be deeply

appreciated.

Make certain that the base of the Archer antenna is grounded to the wing  skin aluminum along the full length of the antenna base.

I attached the nutplates through the antenna base that hold the wingtips on per the instructions.  Is anyone going beyond this?

Clean the paint out of the dimple in the skin for the flush screw.

I stole an idea from Dan Checkoway's site and used some  aluminum HVAC tape to increase the contact area of the antenna/wing.  You  can look around his site for the info and I have a little info  here:
