Eric, the major spark came when attaching the ground lead of my signal generator to the ground on the AC/DC chassis. Melted my ground lead connector. At a minimum, using a battery powered volt meter measure the A/C voltage between the radio chassis and ground lead of your signal generator with both plugged in. If you have 120V A/C you might try reversing one of the plugs in the wall. Be safe.
