Default electrocution beware

Kevin

I see you have the large isolating capacitor on the frame itself - a very important item to have in a vehicle equipped with a mobile wireless set .

Case in point. During the 1950's floods in the Hunter Valley NSW , the army had a few DUKW's rescuing people . Sadly at least one or more of the signallers in a DUKW was electrocuted when the antenna of their wireless set hit a HV power line . Mike
