[R-390] Power Cords on eBay

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Jack, AE7DX

Mostly we just put a three wire cord on the receivers. Bond the green wire to 
the receiver frame. likely with one of the screws used to hold the cover 
plate over the hot post where the white and black wire get attached. Use a meter 
and determine which wire goes to the off/on switch and put the black wire to it.

Most of us do not use GFI breakers as these get upset with the leakage 
currents.

The real task is to ensure the third wire in the power receptacle really goes 
to ground and will hold the chassis close enough to ground so that when you 
grab a knob you do not get bite. This works OK on receive and on the bench. If 
you transmit, you better have a much better ground than the return line to who 
knows where on the power cord. Back when, we accepted nothing was ground. You 
bonded your receiver with a nice chunk of 1/4 braid. On the bench, in the 
rack, in the van, You always went looking for the ground before you went looking 
for power. You can drag the generator to the ground rod, but you cannot always 
get a ground rod in the ground. Find the ground first.

Thanks to everyone who responded...I do have a '390A and it'll take more 
than $20.00 plus shipping to pry it out of my hands :>)

OK, I'll offer $25.00 and come pick it up to save you the trouble of getting 
it packed.
