[TenTec] Eagle problem?

[GARY HUBER]

One problem arises when AC sub-panels do not have their neutral - ground 
bond screw removed. (this is a violation of the NEC as only the MDP shall 
have a neutral - ground bond)

Often sub-panels are installed for Ham shacks and the little screw is not 
removed causing big problems.

Seems easy enought to do.   Certaily I'd operate without the external ground
connected.  This being said presumes you have 3rd pin ground being used for
the power supply and the amp.  If these are "lifted" then it is not
adviseable to remove the other ground.  In any event, NEC requires 3rd pin
ground to be in place.

Also, the external ground must be bonded outside of the structure to the AC
mains ground.  This too per NEC.
