the negative side of the power plug could touch the side of the case before the plug was fully seated.
The negative side (outside metal "tube") of the power plug connects to the radio ground.? I use an extra power plug on the radio end of a counterpoise wire.? The counterpoise wire is soldered to the? plug's metal outer terminal.? It works very well, and is so easy to connect when I'm portable outdoors.
Having the plug outside touch the case should cause no problem at all.? (I'm a retired professional electronics technician.)
