To ensure the best performance of the radio, the antenna cable
should be routed where it is least likely to interfere with or
receive interference from other electronic equipment, such as
echosounder transducer cables and high-current carrying cables.
The antenna cable should terminate in a standard marine PL259
plug fitting. Connect the antenna plug to the socket on the top
of the transceiver unit and screw the retaining collar down (Fig
7.19).
Note To avoid possible water damage to the radio, it is recommend-
ed that the antenna cable is looped to provide a drip path.
7.4 Electrical interference suppression
Interference generated by the alternator of the engine may oc-
casionally cause problems. The RS86/RS87 has been designed
to minimize the effects of outside interference. However, pre-
cautions should still be taken – route the power supply and
antenna cables away from the engine compartment. The cable
run should not be down the same trunking as other cables car-
rying high current. The antenna cable should also be kept sepa-
rate from the radio’s power cable.
Engines with spark ignition—and also some refrigerators—
should be fitted with suppressors. Your local agent should be
able to give advice on this, and also supply suppression kits
where necessary.
