The backplane has a double lug with two lock nuts on the rear panel where the ground wire connects
to the backplane on one end, and to the rack grounding bar on the other. The rack grounding bar is
connected to the master ground bus bar.
To use the grounding lugs, a length of #6 AWG wire with UL-listed ring lugs is required on both ends.
This wire is shipped with the device.
For the cabinet version of the base radio, the rack grounding bar is connected to the SSGB with a
provided AWG2 dual hole lug.
