	I received similar advice from TT HQ.   Something like
	don't do anything without a reason... similarly, don't
	add a bunch of extra grounds without a reason.  I have
	followed that advice, and have no RF or other problems
	in the shack.   Bob, K4TAX once solved
	my only problem of that nature, by having me snug up all
	my connectors nice an tight.   Loose lips sink ships... so also
	loose connectors ...well...  er... I cannot think of a funny
	rhyme... but you get the drift.

	On the other hand... the user manual does say to ground
	all the gear ... so go figure.


Happy New Year, Y'all..      =========== K8JHR  =============
