The wiring instructions for the ICOM A200 show four connections for ground wires and two for power wires, all called out as AWG 18.
I am wondering if I can connect all four ground wires that come out of the connecter together, then to an AWG 18 wire which would then run to the ground point. Also connecting the two AWG 18 power wires that go into the connector to an AWG 18 wire which would run to ground?
Surely ICOM does not intend for me to connect all six wires separately from the radio to the power and ground connections.
I think the radio uses 2.6 amps while transmitting.
Can anyone help. I suspect that many here have dealt with this problem and can tell me how you worked it out.
Thanks
