Elliot,

Referring to the comments concerning grounding, and having/not having, too many feeders. I worked in club/large concert PA and Sound productions for years in the 70s. One problem we came across at times was a "ground loop". With this, as it sounds, a completed loop of grounding, there is a tendency for picking up of RFI.. Radio Frequency Interference. In the business of sound reinforcement it caused severe feedback and the introduction of stray radio signals from Citizens bands, short wave, intercom systems, etc. over the stages PA systems. Perhaps such a type of ground loop is produced within your layout wiring, and it is interfering with the signals to/from the Legacy base.

Any thoughts or comments?
