MB-75 Flush
Mounting Bracket If you are going to mount the M802
control head and/or the speaker (one kit needed for each) in a panel, you want
these. If your not sure - order them anyway - we'll take them back. Better to
have them on hand if you need them then to try and find them when you discover you
do. The same kit also works for the M502/M602 Icom VHF Radios. |

DSC Watch
Antenna Kit The M802 is the FIRST marine SSB for
recreational vessels with Digital Selective
Calling. This is the same in principal as the DSC
on your VHF (you DO have a DSC VHF, don't you??? Starting next year, vessels
outside of US waters are no longer required to monitor channel 16 and DSC is the
ONLY reliable way to hail them on VHF. It is also the only reliable way to hail
commercial vessels inside US waters as they are required to have TWO DSC VHF
radios on the bridge that cannot be turned off). Our exclusive DSC
Antenna kit includes a whip similar in construction to a masthead VHF antenna (
No - you CAN'T use your VHF antenna - this is HF - remember?) only with a 49" whip. The kit also comes with mounting brackets for the whip to accommodate
7/8" or 1" rails, 15 meters of coaxial cable and a 5 meter cable to
connect between your NMEA - GPS Data-bus and the main unit of the M802. |

Commander
Technologies S SB 21-5 SSB Whip Antenna - the solution
for Power Boats, Multi-hulls and other sailboats
without conventional backstays. This
3-piece whip is finished in high quality gel
coat and is comparable to antennas from other
manufacturers antennas that sell for a lot more.
Ships UPS. Matches VHF 21-5 found in VHF Store.
Use 112A mount below. Note: If you order this item with
"The Works" M802 or M710 package, only 10' of
GTO-15 that is part of that package will be
supplied and $8.50 will be deducted from the
package price. With a whip antenna, 10' should
be more then adequate. If it isn't, then we need
to talk as something may not be correct with
your installation plan. |

Stainless Steel Swivel Mount and reinforced

upper bracket is mounted to a vertical surface
about 3' up from the base. It can be adopted to
other installations using stainless awning
fittings to make 2 struts to form a "tripod"
support - the base of the whip forming the third
leg. |

Sintered Bronze
Ground Plate Connect
these to the antenna tuner ONLY with the above
strap. We have been recommending 2 of these 3" x
12" x 3/8" plates (the single larger plate - 6"
x 18" is too large to conform to most hull
curvature - but can get it if you want it - $400) for
about 5 years now and have had no issues with
grounding. We are not saying other ground
systems won't work - it is just that we can't
tell you if it will or won't, and we can't tell
you how to install it. Two 5/16" bronze bolts
fasten the plates to the hull (4 bolts on the
large plate) and provide a connection point
inside the hull for the copper strap. We
recommend mounting one in front of the other as
close to the tuner as possible so that they will
remain in contact with sea-water. |

Ground Plate
connection kit We
kept getting calls asking exactly HOW these
plates were to be installed - in particular
about the grooved nylon washer that is provided
with the plates. We asked our supplier to
include a sheet with a diagram of how the plates
were to be installed. We asked our supplier to
include a sheet with a diagram of how the plates
were to be installed. We asked our supplier to
include a sheet with a diagram of how the plates
were to be installed. We asked our supplier to
include a sheet with a diagram of how the plates
were to be installed - again. Finally, we got
tired of asking and made the drawing our self.
When we did that, we realized there were
additional items needed to properly connect the
strap to the plates that were not included - so
we made up this kit. Enough for two plates (or
one of the 6" x 18" plates). |

Stock and Custom
Length Coaxial
Cable Assembly Constructed from Highest
Quality Low Loss Cable available. Smaller - .24"
- 40% smaller then RG-8U. Weighs 1/3 the weight
of RG-8U (RG-8U weighs .11# per foot!
That is a LOT of weight aloft in a masthead
antenna installation).
But only .2 DB more loss per 100' @ 150 MHz (VHF
Marine channels) then RG-8U - in other words - a
negligible difference.
Comes with special "bullet" connector on
both ends
(that will pass through a 3/8" opening)
that connect to the equipment using a special
low loss adapter. The PL259 connector is the
standard connector used for EVERY fixed mount
VHF & SSB and all VHF antennas. Available in stock lengths of
33', 50', 66' & 100' or a custom
length you specify. Also - you need to specify
connectors for each end. Note: Custom length cables are built to order
- please allow 14 days for delivery. Please
measure and order carefully. Because they are
built to order, once ordered, your order cannot
be canceled or changed unless the supplier
cannot deliver them within the 14 day time
period. Absolutely NO refunds on cables that are
under construction or have been shipped. |

GTO-15 High
Voltage Insulated Wire
This is the wire that is used to connect the
antenna tuner to the backstay. At first glance,
it looks like coax, but it only has a single
conductor surrounded by 15,000 volt insulation
(the "15" in GTO-15) and a UV-resistant jacket.
Unlike coax - it has no metal shield or braid.
It connects to the tuner with a normal ring
terminal (provided with Icom tuners). We found
the easiest way to connect it to the backstay is
by stripping back about 2" of insulation and
clamping it with 2 small hose clamps. With
swaged-on insulators, it is best to connect to
the swage. You might also want to include a drip
loop - run the cable up the backstay an inch or
two then make a small loop and head back down -
this prevents water migrating down between the
jacket and the insulator (really - it happens).
Cover the connection with rigging tape. |
