[Elecraft] Got teh radio...

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

You mentioned AC power - you should power all of your station from the 
same AC receptacle (exception is a 230 VAC power for amplifiers).  That 
assures you that the AC mains ground comes to one point rather than 
wandering 'willy-nilly' around the green wire ground connecting the 
various AC receptacles in the house.

73,
