Connecting a grounding wire to the unit can improve reception. If you are listening to shortwave radio, for example, and you release the unit from your hand you may notice considerable signal degradation. Adding a grounding wire attached to the metal case or near the antenna connector can act as a counterpoise with the necessary length depending on the frequency range being monitored and the attached antenna. Providing a good RF ground will increase reception of HF frequencies.
