Next message: (no name): "Re: [world-cruising] the crossing is too rough?"
I've installed a ssb transceiver and connected it to the insulated
backstay. Now I'm looking for a place for an antenna for the navtex-
receiver. I've learned the electro magnetic energy from a transmitting
ssb can creep into the navtex receiver and there is a risk of damaging
it. I got my Fastnet Radio FMD55P when we bought the boat and I grew
very fond of this (ridiculously expensive) unit.
There must be lots of cruisers out there who use a ssb-transceiver as
well as a navtex.
What antenna-solution do you use on your boat?
How much distance do you maintain between the ssb-antenna and f.i. a
short-whip active navtex-antenna?
Any experience with a damaged receiver as a result of transmitting
from the ssb?
Thanks,
Len.
