Grounding Amp ???

[jwhawg]

Well I guess I'll ask.....
Can someone tell me if my amplifier should be grounded to the grounding bar behind my radios as the rest of my eqpt. is ?
Sounds like a dumb question, but I really can find no other posts that address this question.

Thanks in advance!

Fair question...
I ground everything - except my mic.

Yes. If for some odd reason it should cause a problem, then un-ground it. I really doubt if that'll happen.

Guess I will give er a try. It seems none of these have a lug to just ground the case? Maybe I "install" one !!
Anyway Thanks for the quick return.
