[Elecraft] K2 grounding

[Jeff Kinzli]

Hey Guys,

Having just finished my first K2 (#5945) I'm looking for
best-practices on grounding it properly in the shack.

This is going to be used at home, rarely, if ever, portable.

At first, I'm going to use a 12V battery to power it, and will get a
Samlex PS in the near future for when I do the KPA100 in a few weeks.

Anyhow, since the K2 doesn't have a ground lug I'm wondering how is
the best way to ground this. I'm using a balanced antenna (vertical
dipole) at the moment.

I've looked through the manual and the list archives but don't find
too much in terms of details of this subject. If anyone is willing to
spell it out for me, that'd be great :)

On my old TS830 I just had a ground lug on the rear, that went via a
short wire to earth ground, however there doesn't seem to be such a
provision on the K2 in it's stock form.

Thanks for any ideas.

Jeff
