... From: "Ken" > ... That is the way I do it, I use a 10nF capacitor from the USB ground to the Softrock ground. I'm not saying it's the best way but it works...
Thanks for pointing this out, guess I just missed seeing it. Well if I didn't screw up anything in the process, it should work. without that jumper it hears...

Hi Christos (SV1EIA)  Tnx for the idea. Could you publish details like PN for the xformer etc?  Many thanks and Happy New Year to you and all on list and...
OK, I see that would isolate and prevent any DC ground loops, but can the ground loop not be in the AC region? OR maybe it's only the DC ground loops that...
... From: "Ken" ... Well, the current through ground loops is basically at mains frequency and its lower harmonics. A lowish value capacitor will have a...

OK, it's getting better now - OR maybe I'm just more confused. By "mains frequecy" you mean the 60 (or 50) cycles of the power line? A "lowish" value (such as...
