Just completed the installation of an Icom 802, as follows:
Icom 802
AT140 Tuner
Dynaplate (linked to the AT140 only)
Pacific Whip Aerial
Pactor PIIex running Pactor III
Got it all connected and turned the radio on - however can only hear static (admit that I haven't had time to try all the scheduled calls, but thought I may hear at least something).
An installation question first .... the radio came off another boat which was professionally installed. I have the ground connected to the AT140, however nothing connected the ground point on the 802, some have said this is right, and others haven't - opinions?
Next problem I have noticed; when I select a frequency the radio says 'THRU' - so I press the TUNE button, and 'TUNE' flashes while the main controller of the radio clicks, and then returns to say 'THRU' ... is this right? I thought from reading the manual is should flash 'TUNE' whilst tuning and then say 'TUNE' when tuned??
Any advice on this one? Also whats the best freq / time to listen to see if I have a good Rx (I'll tackle Tx when I know I'm set up right and can receive!).
Thanks
Jonny
