[Elecraft] Grounding the Elecraft

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

There is a threaded bolt or stud on the back of the transceiver.  Us it 
and connect it to the power supply ground.  Then the ground on the power 
supply is the "station ground" point for all other equipment as well.  
On the K3S it is time #38 marked GROUND.

If the piece of equipment does not provide such, then one will need to 
be added.  Be sure to remove the paint from both inside and outside of 
the area  where one drills the hole.  A #8 screw, add internal tooth 
lock washer and #8 nut and this will be adequate.  Be mindful when 
drilling from the outside to the inside that the bit does not suddenly 
grap and drag the rotating bit into the inside causing damage to 
whatever it may strike.  I prefer removing the rear panel and use a 
drill press for any drilling and de-burring. That way there's no chance 
of metal shavings getting inside.
