I have an icom M700 with an AT-120 antenna tuner.
I understand the importance of good grounding for the AT-120, but do I
need to be as paranoid about grounding the M700 itself ?

Thanks



No....install the tuner as close to the antenna wire as you can get it and
use a #8 battery wire to connect the tuner's ground post to the engine
block as short as you can make it. You don't need special neon high
voltage wire and all that crap because you'll mount the tuner right next to
where the bottom of the insulated backstay connects to the boat.
