Greetings,

I need a bit of help on the wiring terminals for the AVC.  It looks like that this is an AVC output signal that I'll make no connection to.  Just wanted to make sure I've got that correct and no jumper is needed like there is in the R390 series.  

Next I have to connect the ISB adaptor.  It looks like the 100KS out goes in to the adaptor rf in???  Is that correct?  I have the RA-17L manual but can't find one for the ISB adaptor and as they look so good together I'd rather not scorch them.

Also why didn't youz guyz tell me that that there was a geomagnetic storm on the same day I moved four BA's into different racks and added some "new to me" antenna multicouplers only to find HF dead making me think I messed something up big time!!!!  Even some of the big powerhouse SWBC stations were weak and fading!  I'm not able for that stress anymore!
