Where to put it?
Most users will install AG near their station bulkhead, the location where their antenna feed
lines, AC mains, DSL, cable TV, and/or other cables enter the shack and where the single point
ground system nexus is located (you do have a single point ground system, don’t you?). Locating
AG at your bulkhead or other remote location means only three cables need to be run to the
station operating position, coax for the A and B radios and a Cat5e (or higher) Ethernet cable for
the LAN (if not using LAN, you will need a pair of control lines, one for Port A and for Port B).
