Good morning, folks,
I'm eagerly awaiting Wednesday's arrival of my KX-1 kit, tricked out
for four bands plus the auto tuner. The last two kits I built (back in
the day) were Heathkit's HW-8 and 2036A synthesized 2-meter transceiver.
That was largely before static-sensitive ICs.
I will be building the kit in my workshop, which occupies one
corner of our garage (unfinished interior walls, unpainted cement
floor). I'm not clear where I should hook up the other end of a wrist
strap or mat. One thought that occurred to me involved any bolts
holding down the wall framing to the cement foundation. But there may
be a more elegant approach.
I'd be grateful for any guidance!
With best regards,
Pete
