john,
my amel will also have the whip antenna, but i am having one
backstay insulated as a backup. my question still is will the mini-m
mount interfere with the insulated backstay if i use it.

John,
My question was about the way that Amel mounts the mini-m
It is mounted on a bracket between the backstays.
i was wondering what effect that would have on an insulated

backstay.

I was wondering if anyone had that setup installed on their sm

and

its effect on the ssb reception/transmission.
fair winds,
eric
YES, MY MINI-M DISH UNIT MOUNTS BETWEEN MY SPLIT BACKSTAY, BUT I

HAVE A SEPARATE WHIP FOR SSB. THE WIP ALLOWED MY ICOM M-710 TO

TALK

TO HERB, SOUTHBOUND II FROM THE CANARIES TO THE CARIBBEAN. MY
BACKSTAY ISN'T INSULATED!

ERIC,
I DON'T THINK THIS WILL WORK. THE ANTENNA FOR THE MINI-M

CONTAINS

A

SPECIAL DISH THAT IS ORIENTED BY INTERNAL SERVO MOTORS TO AIM

AT

THE

SATELLITE AND READJUSTS ITS AIM AS THE BOAT PITCH, YAWS AND

MOVES

ABOUT. THE MINI-M HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A STAY AS A SSB MIGHT!
