In other words, you can't beat a good *single point* grounding system.
That's what Polyphaser endorses, and myself as well. I had a brand new
(3-week old) RC-850 turned into toast, as well as damage to several
MASTR IIs and duplexers. After re-thinking the grounding, and 20 years
later, I've had maybe $10 in parts replaced - mostly temperature sensors
and associated parts. It's hard to believe that's only a coincidence.
I'm sure adding the polyphaser suppression had a lot to do with it too,
but I still have to believe that changing to a single-point ground
helped a lot.
