[Elecraft] Wire size for the ground on the KX2

[Mel Farrer]

The speaker wire I use is the insulated flat stuff ~16 AWG equivalent.  Rolls up into a nice small ball.  I put a alligator clip on one end and a ring terminal for the KX3.

If this is for an RF ground, you'll need bigger than 22G for it to be
effective.

Braid would be preferred.
