Re: Amel 54 Emergency Tiller Storage Location
Arno,
Many thanks for that. I was intending to do something along those lines. A photo would be good if you don’t mind. I may struggle to find 5200 here in Cariacou so it may have to wait a bit.

Correct, the bandwith is often very poor. It is a little better at night times when most users are asleep. But a nice antenna helps a lot. When you have a poor signal strength you have also a

Depending the conditions I use 2 different kinds of antennas.
The usual rod antenna has the characteristics as shown

My idea was to fix a couple of steel bars to prevent them from falling out. These would be mounted just below the lazarette shelf, rotating up to prevent the tiller
