Hello Eric, It's the ground in the SSB transceiver and the antenna tuner that is the problem, and I would think that -ve tied to ground is pretty common practice in most radios. The AT130/140 tuners,

Alan, You are absolutely right in the case of the ICOM, I forget to check the example. I did purchase isolated ground units. I think only on the Icom does it make a difference, the other

You need to be careful with these 24 to 12 volt converters. Ideally to suit the Amel system you need an isolated converter i.e. one where the input negative is isolated from the output negative. If

Eric let me know what you do about the Sterling Alternator to Battery charger. I was looking at that as an alternative to changing to a larger alternator. It reads as if you could connect both the

Rafael, There are a lot of inexpensive 24 to 12 volt electronic converters much smaller than the old Icom unit. I carry a few just in case one of the other 5 converters go bad. Just google 24 to 12

Hello, We are on a shakedown of our new and beautiful SN006 Liesse, in South Of France, which although going very well and stunningly beautiful I have taken to calling the Motorterranean! I do

Bonjour Olivier What an amazing Amel science you have! The boat in question is named Antioche and is up for sale in la Rochelle. I have been looking at amels since i first saw them as a kid in le port

Jeff, Batteries release Hydrogen gas when charging...they release a lot when overcharging. I believe the only thing that would blow the hinges off of that compartment would be Hydrogen gas. I am

I was motorsailing for an extended period trying to make as much progress to the easterd as possible. While making omlets for myself and my crew, there was an explosion in the galley. The big plastic

ian we are only connected to shore power once every few months. When we leave the boat at a dock we are not connected. I do need to figure out a better charge profile for the alternator...thinking of

Ian We ended up going with the following new batteries are purchased. 680 Amp hours at 12 volt. Also purchased an automated battery watering system with the batteries. Picking them up on Friday and

Rafa, You are getting plenty of good advice from the other members of this group. The only thing I would add is after you get the system installed, don't try to operate it in a marina. There is too

...I am very satisfied of this radio ,connected to a Pactor III. I have used the starboard back-stay as antenna and AT 140 tunner Normal transformer from 24v to 12 v. Only AT 140 is connected to

Rafel, The Icom 24-13.6VDC Converter used by Amel on SSB installations is difficult to find. Normal price is around $800-$1,000USD. Here is one for sale:

Hi Max I have the same Icom 706 MK2g and the tunner AT 120. I will install my radio and I would like if you have a special converter from 24 to 12 V. What kind of antenna do you use, Shakespeare?

Just to be clear, the triatic is ONLY good as the secondary DSC receiver on a radio like the 802 that needs a separate receive-only antenna for its DSC system to work. As Alan points out, it would be

Hi, I could not find the area where the stoves and parts are located. Would you please send a link? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376
