I have one that I use regiously and notmally hook it around one of the HV caps while I am in there, so that if anything shopuld try to build up, it will go to ground first. Also, be sure that the first thing you do before going inside any rig, even a receiver, is pull the power cable from the source. This is easy to forget but Ian Fleming's Novel stating thet "You Only Live Twice" doesn't hold up when working on electronic equipment.....ANY electronic equipment. It is not a bad idea to have a second person around, either. Be sure they know what proceedures are needed should you come in contact with a voltage source without becoming a victim themselves. Always assess the situation before jumping in to help. 73, John, W4AWM
