RhinoInstalls Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 deerhound Posted: 17 January 2011 5:31 PM Subject: Getting cable through from battery, and radio question. Have been looking to bring direct supply from battery to about table area inside, this is to supply a ham radio. just wondered if there is an easy way to come from battery as the bulkhead seems well sealed up? The radio is the original Philips and I would like to change this to disc player, will the connections on a new Kenwood be compatable with existing motorhome plugs? Thanks for any help.

Clive Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Standard radio connections are detailed here :- http://www.motts.org/Radio%20Wiring.htm For Ham radio gear you are correct in putting in a seperate feed from the battery, buts use the leisure battery so you don,t flatten your starter battery talking to the world from your mobile (but parked up) shack. If its an HF rig then you need to pay particular attention to earthing systems and getting RF back into the Mic circuits. ferrite rings are usefull around both Mic and control leads from the rig. If its VHF or UHF and FM then its easier but as always aerials as high as possible work best and also catch trees! Its fun C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikyenfo Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I found with my radio amp. that 300 watts was max. I could use before RF burn. That is HLA300 amp using sideband on 40 metres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
