The gel beans are a good idea (ugly, but functionality is more important IMHO). Not familiar too much w/ the TDA200, but if there are any amphenol connectors... Nah, it's probably cat5 coming out on the station side, and on the CO side... Yeah; not too sure. Point is, don't forget any cable connectors either.
Heck, it's an IP system, so see what the computer equipmnet is using. If the computer network doesn't use anything special, then you probably won't have to either. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Barnes Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 2:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: KX-T: TDA200 on a Boat I would imagine an installation like this would not change a whole lot. I don't think I would use punch blocks at all. I'd use gel filled beans and hardwire it. A vessel that size should have someplace inside that is relatively safe from the harsh environment for the equipment, probably along with the satellite receiver and home theater electronics.
