Is your Icom 802 connected to the grounding (the dynaplates), too? If yes, disconnect it, as it may create electronic loops. The experts say, only the tuner should be connected to the grounding, On my

Hi Matt, We had been insured with Pantaenius US for the last two years with no issues. However, our policy renewal date was January 1 and the new policy conditions that Pantaenius imposed were so

Hello Matt, My Name is Mark Dajani, I will be picking up my Amel 60 this June and plan to keep it in the med for a year or so before moving on. I read your entire flow on the boat building

Hi Joerg, you have the best equipment available installed. all parts are first class. Of course you can check it with an SWR meter, but I am not sure if that will help you identifying the problem.

Thanks again everyone for your advice. To respond to a few questions, I have the ICOM M802 with the AT140 tuner. For the cable between the transmitter and the AT, Amel/Pochon installed RG213 and I

Hello Volker, unfortunately you will have to change the seals to remedy this problem. Normally when we change the seals we also change the wearable bushing. All available thrue Amel S.A.V. Santorin

Hi Volker, Amel uses now SAE90, 15/40 is also ok, but no ATF! ATF is used for the gearbox, not for the drive. herbert, SN120

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,

Hi Arnold, thanks for the Info! So far my plan is to suck out as much as I can from the reservoir and/or gearbox and refill with clean oil.... Wish me luck for good wind so the engine will not been

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

Hi Joerg I believe that it is hard to improve on a direct connection system using dynaplates. If the connections are good and the dynaplates are relatively clean then I am not sure that extending the
