Easily solved. Method One: Put spade lugs on one end of the wire(s) that 
you rig for counterpoise, loosen the thumb screw, and slide them under.

Method Two: Put a spade lug on a short piece of wire, slide it under the 
spade lug, put a single Power Pole on the other end. Then add Power 
Poles to one end of the counterpoise wires.

I use method two. In the shack, it's used to bond the KX3 to the rest of 
my gear. In the field, it's easy to rig for a counterpoise.

I also carry a BNC to Pomona (dual banana) adapter, which makes it easy 
to rig wires to the KX3.
