Good Afternoon Jim, Another thought comes to mind, do you need the original R390/A line filter (FL101)? Most of today's interference is by way of the antenna input, RFI. Line noise is better dealt with by finding that source and unplug it. FL101 is what trips GFIs because of leakage of the caps inside of said line filter. So power the R390/A (with no antenna connected) through an outlet that does not have a GFI, is there noise? If there is no noise, at this time a FL101 or equivalent is not needed. Remove FL101 and be done with it. If there is noise, the search begins. Might be easiest to unplug the source, maybe ferrite thingies, or a line filter mentioned by the rest of the long distant R390/A service dept.
If noise is by way of the antenna input....................welcome to today's world.

I see that there is a modification to the 390 AC filter, but time is short and I would like to get it on the air. Is there a simple way to keep the 390 tripping GFI's?
