Radio antenna connector to radio chassis ground. Radio chassis ground to radio power plug. Radio power plug to wall outlet. Wall outlet to service ground. What if he's using a power supply and mobile radio? |

Radio antenna connector to radio chassis ground. Radio chassis ground to radio power plug. Radio power plug to wall outlet. Wall outlet to service ground. Mobile radio with a power supply. Power supply has a transformer, which isolates it it from direct connection. The PS is an old RS unit which does not have a ground on it's plug. So in essence, you're wrong. Vinnie S. sigh. Look at a schematic sometime. The PS transformer ain't isolating *anything* from ground, dude. |

I will gladly take a picture and email it to you if you want. There is no ground plug on the AC plug. I am not going to get into name calling with you. I will appreciate your help if you try to help me. But if you want to belittle me, then let the others try and help me. Vinnie S. |

OK, since your radio is not connected to service ground, stick a fork into one hole of your wall outlet, the hot side. Hang on and grab your radio chassis with the other hand. Let me know how it goes. I am not going to get into name calling with you. I will appreciate your help if you try to help me. But if you want to belittle me, then let the others try and help me. I am trying to save you from wearing size 50 pants, having body odor and complaining about your medical problems on 75 meters. Just get a base station cb antenna, plug it in and forget it. |

On a 3 wire system, the case is tied to ground, and not the neutral. Can YOU read a schematic? |
