Alan, good video! thx. SSB installation and troubleshooting is sometimes tricky. I made my engineer's degree in electronics and telecommunication and are an active HAM radio user since many years,

Hallo Volker, attached you will find the manual and drawing for the C-Drive!! The oil is the same as for engine 15/40!! You must lift out for repair the seal. Best Arnold SY Zephyr SM 203 Am

Dear Amel Owners, I bought my Santorin (027) 3 month ago and getting her ready for the first move - from the port I bought her to my home port in Langkawi/Malaysia. Its a trip of approx 1200 Nm - but

Herbert, Here is some good basic info regarding using an SWR meter... https://youtu.be/qSea5FjcTDE Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Testing with SWR- Meter from exampel Diawa is an easy test or look for help by a local HAM-radio Club. Try to google your Location and Ham-radio Club. Wolfgang Do8ww SY Elise Amel 54#162

I would test the SWR (stand wave ratio) of your system. It tells you how much energy which is going out is reflected. With a device like this: (there are others which can do the

Joerg, * what cable did you use for connecting the antenna with the tuner? should be a GTO-15 and no coax / copper cable. This is sometimes the problem. * make sure that this cable is away from

Thanks very much everyone for responding. I had thought I would disconnect the tank from the common ships ground and connect it to the SSB ground. I have been checking my connections since the boat

Hi Frederic, Did amel supply these parts for you? I'm hoping to replace the same mounts in the coming weeks as the engine is out of our Mango. Thanks, Ellen

HF shall do no harm neither to the Amel bonding system nor to all connected metals, even if transmitting with high power. It is the DC connection that has to be avoided, and this DC connection will be

On my boat 90% of Electric and electronic Problems are Connection Problems. This also applies to the SSB radio installation. I would check all the connections from start to end for corrosion and weak

to be more specific: Your ground is the sea. So you need a good electrical (HF - high frequency connection) to sea-water. This is done by your dynaplate. If you connect your bonding system you will

Hi Joerg, in my opinion there should be no need of adding additional ground, make sure that the connections are clean, no corrosion on any contacts, from tranceiver to tuner to antenna!, and also
