[TenTec] Station power supply??

[Carl Moreschi]

Looking at my schematic for my Astron 35M, it shows the green wire 
ground on the AC connected to chassis ground.  It also shows the V- side 
of 13.8 volts connected to chassis ground.  The only issue is whether 
paint on the PS cover is insulating the cover.  My supply shows zero 
ohms between V- and the cover and has never given me any trouble since I 
purchased it in 1991.

Now, our station ground is supposed to also connect to our home wiring 
ground.  If this is so then V- and the green wire ground are common once 
we connect a radio to any power supply and ground the ground log on the 
radio to station ground.

So what's the issue?
