Bob has it right, when used mobile which I do a lot for QSO parties. Here is the rationale:
The pictorial at right is from this author's May 2015, QST, starting on page 35, entitled The Modern Mobile. It clearly represents the correct wiring scenario, whereas the negative lead goes to the same chassis grounding point as the battery's chassis ground point. And as shown, the negative lead fuse should not be removed. The reason is, if the grounding point should lose its integrity, excessive current could flow through the transceiver's negative lead. It also prevents a minor ground loop between the leads. You can find more details at: http://www.k0bg.com/wiring.html. And hello Dave! I saw some of our Cherryland ARC friends at HamVention again this year. 73, Bill, K8TE -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
