Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

You are correct. However, I was trying to keep this simple and not get into radio geek details. It appears you have a reasonable understanding of communications as well so I guess my explanation...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Actually not a peculiarity of the M802. I use the same method to teat other radios. It is actually not CW as when you key in FSK it is putting I believe a space tone, dependent on the settings of...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Recommend you use FSK mode as CW does not normally put out any power and FSK applies a 100% modulation level tone.

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

John you may not have seen the part where Mark thought he should also tie in a KISS to solve the problem. Totally agree that would not help. That is how Kiss got into the conversation.

I do not want to start the old HAM perception of KISS argument so I will not address your concept of KISS.

I have tested and/or repaired well over 250 boats coming to the West...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

I would have to disagree. Each ground has its own way of working. What ever RF ground you decide to use you should make it the best you can, but don't mix types of grounds. e.g. KISS is a radial...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Hi Mark,
The snap on Ferrite cores are best installed as close to the equipment and at both ends of a cable going between equipment. They form what is called an RF Choke for the cable.

The RF...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Very interesting Mark,

I have not seen to many issues with a vertical. However it is very possible depending on the relationship to the other wires. Since it is vertical, how does it relate to...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Hi Mark
It is unfortunate that Icom is so slow. They tell me they are short handed.

However what they told you is basically what I said as well. I am retired, but have worked on over 200...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Hi Mark,
I have read through most of the responses here and it is all good advice. However, one thing that seems to be left out is what you are using for an antenna. With these issues, I assume...

Re: Issue with Icom M802 Installation

Good morning,
No the KISS-SSB does not have to be close to the hull and it is not a capacitive coupling to the sea. It is a radial type ground and as such is kind of like a second antenna making up...
