David,

You mentioned AC power - you should power all of your station from the same AC receptacle (exception is a 230 VAC power for amplifiers). That assures you that the AC mains ground comes to one point rather than wandering 'willy-nilly' around the green wire ground connecting the various AC receptacles in the house.

Hi All,
The radio arrived, all is working well!  The book by KE7X arrived a day
later...

I have the rig on air, and it appears to be working great.  Quite a
learning curve...  But I am taking it one step at a time, getting each
function working, then rewiring the shack to accommodate.

I decided to redo the entire station as well...  Pulled every item off
the desk, and started by replacing all grounds with 1 inch braid.  Moved
to AC power, then 12 Volt power, then to signal and control.

Much neater behind the desk now.  I mounted all the power outlets,
etc...  I'll have photos on the web site soon...
