the chassis.

Also, if you do install a third ground wire (which I DO recommend),

you won't
be able to power the radio on a circuit that is protected with a GFI

(Ground
Fault Interrupter). It'll pretty much pop the GFI every time.

I don't see why it will pop the GFI unless the line bypass cap is
unreasonably large or something is leaking current. I've done the 3
wire cord modification to a few radios and most of my test equipment,
and I haven't had that problem.
