Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Re: Attn. Ron Oehlert

I think the confusion arises from using the archaic term ground (a carry-over from the early days of crystal Radio) when refering to circut Common current returns. Poor physical layout or arrangement of those current returns can create current loops & thereby introduce noise; the chassis should not be a circut current return path. A SAFETY Ground connection should never be a circut current return pathway. Capacitive *filters* connected between circut Common & a power cord become *Death Caps* when failed closed. With a proper SAFETY arrangement, the circut proper makes conection to the chassis at one point only & the 3-rd SAFETY wire of the cord set connects to the chassis at it's own separate point. Thus with any fault current flow is direct to EARTH instead of via the operator. Such a connection should have no operational effect on a well-designed electronics circut.
