Is the ESD bubble wrap?

Not really sure it is.

Brilliant. Surface mount components and no ESD protection.

Vinny, maybe you can explain to all of us why you would need ESD
protection... when all components are underneath a grounded metal
shield. Thanks in advance for your explanation... lol

The componets are sitting on bubblewrap. That was the point. Assuming that that
is not ESB bubblewrap and can actually hold a charge, where do you think the
path is going to?

Huh? Like I said... the components are under the grounded metal
shield. The metal shield is sitting on the bubble wrap. You need to
look at the photo more closely... or get a new prescription for your
glasses! You really are something... lol

You didn't answer the question. Is that ESD bubblewrap?

2 problems I see:

1. If it's ESD bubblewrap, then it's conductive. Which means it can't be in
there permanently.

2. If it's not ESD bubblewrap, then you introduce the possibility of ESD,
especially in cold and very dry climates. Being that that is a mobile rig, the
problem of static is worse because you always can discharge yourself as you get
in or out of the car. If you ever go to a gas station, you see signs about that.

As far as the picture, all it shows is that an antenna is connects. Nothing
else.

But that is all I was getting at. You are one paranoid fool.

Sheilding does nothing for ESD protection. ESD damage can be induced
from power leads as well as signal inputs and outputs. In fact more
damage is done with ESD discharge with ground rising above the
positive supply potential during an ESD event. A 4KV discharge is
easily encountered with handling of any componnent or assembly without
even the person knowing it happens. The human body can impart as much
as a 16KV discharge during an ESD event.
