Rob,
Went for whip as it was included with the 802 and the AT140 (which we got 2nd hand off someone who'd done an atlantic circuit).
The wiring to the AT140 is interesting. It was installed on a Dufour 42 by Sailcom they installed as follows:
On the AT140 - normal 4 coloured wires for the control cable, plus a grounding wire which goes to the ground point at one end, and the other end via a capacitor is spliced into the control cable.
On the radio box - the ground cable noted above comes out of the control cable, you can see another capacitor and is then spliced back into the control cable. This then has the 4 wires going to the plug.
This wire was cut before I installed it, however I just soldered the cut wires back together - could this be the problem? I will re-check the connections are good, but should I replace the wire completely? Also, anyone know what the grounding wire with the capacitors on it is doing in there? I can see at the tuner end it connects the ground, but at the radio end it is just used as a shield around the other wires as far as I can see??
