Why do it all over again? *The tuners, such as the Icom AT-140, already
have DC blocking capacitors built into them between the tuner and its RF
Ground terminal. *Why put another one in series with the one already in
the
tuner??



You win. You're right. How incredibly stupid that Icom doesn't INCLUDE
this important DC blocking capacitor into the marine design.

Ours is grounded to the engine block....just like the radio ground, the
NMEA ground, all the battery system grounds and everything else NOT tied to
the AC grounds, which go through the dock.

No WONDER nothing ever rotted and fell off! THEY'RE ALL PROTECTED BY ALL
THE ZINCS!
