Base Station Grounding

The VX-1400 HF transceiver, like any other HF communications apparatus, requires an
effective ground system for maximum electrical safety and best communications effec-
tiveness. A good ground system can contribute to station efficiency in a number of ways.
It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator.
It can minimize RF currents flowing on the shield of the coaxial cable and the chassis
of the transceiver which may cause interference to nearby home entertainment de-
vices or laboratory test equipment.
It can minimize the possibility of erratic transceiver operation caused by RF feedback
or improper current flow through logic devices.
An effective earth ground system may take several forms; for a more complete discussion,
see an appropriate RF engineering text. The information presented below is intended only
as a guideline.
