Re: Using the PU jack
Not in terms of damage to the radio but grounding a point part way up the bias chain could be a recipe for hum. Best to use a floating (battery operated maybe) source or else feed the signal via a small audio isolating transformer. No particular high voltage isolation transformer is needed, it's not a safety issue.
