My avionics collection.

The combination of flying and Radio amateur

results in a collection of communication avionics.

 Solving the earth problem of the R1155 - T1154

When connecting the minus of the HV supply to more equipment simultanously and connecting the T1154 earth terminal to earth of the other transmitters/ receivers in the shack, generates a short cut to the negative grid bias circuit of the R1155.

To overcome this problem so you can use only one powersupply for all equipment i made this capacitor which makes a DC block  between the earth terminal of the T1154 and the rest of the shack.  It works well. the capacitors have to whitstand a voltage of 30...40 VDC and the RF current due to transmission. See pictures below.  The chassis of the R1155-T1154 is app. 35 VDC below the rest of your equipment. Use 16 1nF feed thru capacitors made by Stettner &Co.
