Hello. I was hoping to get a Alonco DX R8T or Yaesu FRG 100 sometime in the near future. I live in a place where I don't have access to the ground, but from what I can understand desktop receivers should in general be grounded. Am I out of luck? How important is grounding? If I unplug the antenna every time after use, will I need grounding?
