Buck,
No matter how you interpret the figure, the pin closest to the side pane is
the grounded one - and the braid should end up closest to the side panel
too.
You can easily verify which pin is ground with your ohmmeter - the other
side will have a high resistance to ground because of the blocking capacitor
on the RF board.

It's the old P6/J7 question again. I found some references in the
archives
but they just say Wow, be careful or I once was lost but now I'm
saved.
without actually telling how it goes.
So can someone help me get this straight?
If I wire J7 as shown on page 10 of the manual and install P6 so the
locking
tab is to the front of the radio, the braid ends up in the connector that
is
closest to the edge of the radio. But, it looks like the ground side is
the
one closest to the center of the radio not the edge. In other words,
either
the drawing on page 10 is backwards or the locking tab has to be to the
back
of the radio or
I JUST DON'T GET IT!
