As an antenna for short-wave radio systems, a section of the backstay is usually electrically insulated. The soldering of PL plugs must not allow any contact between the conductor and the shielding and there must be sufficient contact area for the conductor. The coaxial cable connecting the radio and tuner should be of low attenuation. There may be a risk of short circuits and corrosion. Make sure good quality of cable connections for best transmission and reception qualityĮvery loose connection and every area that is too small for the transmission of shortwave power has a negative effect on the transmission and reception quality of the SSB radio system. You should always attach the grounding plates using the floating method, so you can uninstall and clean the pads at any time without taking the boat out of the water.ģ. In this case they must be cleaned, preferably with a metal brush, or completely replaced. Grounding plates should never be painted over! After 6 months, algae and mussels can form on the rough surface of the bronze material, which limits the function of the grounding plates. If you have a wooden hull, simply install the supplied fibreglass plate between the grounding plate and the hull. Our rectangular grounding plates measuring 300 x 80 x 13 mm are ideal for this purpose. For the grounding plates it is important to choose a size sufficient for SSB radio. The grounding plates should only be used for grounding the tuner and not for other electrical installations. Ground plates made of bronze material, also known as Dynaplates, ensure the correct earthing and that interference is prevented. There are several possibilities for GRP and wooden hulls.
