[Elecraft] Issue 12 re Astron Power Supply

[Wes Stewart]

I would hope that "much of the current..." wasn't really much.  The direct 
conductor from the negative terminal of the power supply to the radio should 
carry the majority of the supply current,

Perhaps it could be called a case or cabinet...more importantly, it’s what the green wire from the line cord is connected to. I disconnected the black wire. When it was connected, much of the current that would have passed thru the negative power wire from the power supply to the rig was shunted thru the green power cord wire, the ground buss bar, and other ground connections.
