[Mobile-Portable] IC-706 and Am-com ASAC controller

Hello all
On 7-25-03 I wrote

"I wanted to thank all who helped with my mobile installation.  =
Everything works good with one exception.  I was installing Am-Com ASAC =
controller for the High Sierra antenna.  It gets false halts, false =
direction, and is just plain not working on 40.  Am-Com tech thought it =
was RF feedback.  I placed donuts on every line to and from the IC706 =
and ASAC, added more grounds etc.  With no change.  Does anyone have the =
ASAC working correctly, and what did you do to get there?"

I would like to update the status and let you know that my Am-Com ASAC =
controller is working great.  What I did was change the ground at the =
base of the High Sierra Antenna which I originally grounded to the frame =
(over 18 inches long).  I used copper 1.5 inch width strip 5 inches long =
routed to inside the stop light holder in the fender.  The SWR changed =
from just under 2 to 1 to 1.1 to 1 on all bands.

I will start working on the vehicle generated noise and let you know how =
that works out.
