[Elecraft] KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7600 accessory cable

[Ken B]

I can easily attest that all the grounds are bonded together in the panel.
Everything related to the station is on the same strip with a 0 ohm potential to the ground rod

together -- power, telco, CATV, your antennas, and all ground rods.  Two 
places to learn it -- N0AX's recent ARRL book on grounding and bonding, 
and my own tutorial, upon which much of Ward's book is based.

Also -- as noted in my tutorial, EVERYTHING connected with your station, 
including computers and other accessories connected to your rig) should 
get power from the same outlet, or from outlets whose green wires (third 
pin) are bonded together in your shack. This is just as important as 
bonding.
