My random wire connects via a 9:1 un-balun to 50 ohm coax.
The shield is grounded. Because I had the correct adaptor,
I connected the coax to "Unbalanced" antenna connector on
the R-390A. It works well.



I bought some twin Ax to SO-239 connectors which ground one side of the 
balanced input automatically, you get much more gain this way with an 
unbalanced antenna. Chuck Rippel also mentions this in his blurb you get 
when he does a radio over. One side works better than the other.
