rob, thanks for the link.

i will be doing this either today or tomorrow, depending on how long it takes me to do the other upgrades im going to do. (channel guard, receive kit, LED meter lights, and im sure a couple of others)

fnky,

thanks for the advice.

nope, im not confusing the two; thats why i asked, it seemed strange to me to put power ground on the mic pin. the audio shielding i understand, but the power ground thing threw me.

here is what the TRB instructions say:

"solder the negative TRB-1 power lead (wire 2 from J4) to ground pin on the microphone jack."

i think the reason they said to do it this way, is that they have to take into account the lowest common denominator of installation knowledge.
like, any other way they explained where to put the ground, 1% of people would misunderstand it and think that their TRB didnt work right.
who knows. LOL

thanks for the confirmation on the tuning can, thats what seemed logical to me.

also thanks on the tuning advice. i will be running an astatic 636, so im going to turn mine all the way up and see how it sounds.

i will post back when i get it installed.
