Can I use the copper (plumbing) hanging strap for ground strap to my equipment. It is 3/4 inch wide...kind of thick...but it does have holes punched in it. It would be easy to use the smaller holes for zipping a screw through to the equipment chassis or to a piece of soft roll copper 3/4 inch pipe. I guess it would be better to solder to the copper pipe. Just an idea that would be a much cheaper way out. 10 feet of hanging copper is about $2.00

Thanks,
screamin voodoo
 

You could use it but be aware that it is not pure copper. It is just copper plated steel and it will tarnish and rust if the copper is scraped off.If it for use inside it should be OK.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
