[Elecraft] K3 ESD

[David Pratt]

Wear cotton clothing rather than nylon or highly static material; avoid
walking around on static-prone carpets.  Wrap a length of bare copper
wire around your wrist and solder a 2 megohm resistor to it. Connect
that to a nearby ground connection.  Just ensure that the K3 is always
at the same potential as yourself by touching its frame regularly.

You should be okay at that.
