I have one piece of equipment that I deliberately ungrounded....

My Yaesu G800SDX was squirrelly.  The az indication would change by as
much as 25 - 30 deg when I keyed up a nearby 2 meter packet txcvr.
Cured the prob by putting a 3wire to two wire adapter on the plug and
opened the ground path.  I have a polyphaser lightning arrestor on this
cable (and everything else) at the entrance to the house, but I
disconnect all the cables during our frequent storms here.
