Bob,

If I understand your question corretly ---

But why? If you are using the BNC to binding post adapter, the ground connection is to the same board PC ground plane as the ground connection of the BNC to binding post adapter.

The use of the mini-banana plug is a convenience for those operating pedestrian mobile and provides a connection for the trail wire that will easily disconnect if the wire encounters a snag - protecting the KX2. Do not make it anything other than that. If you can find a mini-banana jack to binding post adapter, then it can be used instead of the Elecraft supplied connector. You are welcome to query the web, but I do not find any.

If your pedestrian mobile situation uses anything other than that mini-banana jack, then you could could cause damage to the KX2 if the wire encounters a snag.

If you can find a mini-banana jack to BNC adapter, then you can have your wishes, then you will have your solution.

73,
Don W3FPR

   It would be nice if Elecraft offered a mini-banana plug for use with the
KX2 that would have a binding post or other device that would allow the
counterpoise to be attached without soldering the wire -- the binding post
to bnc connector is nice and the same binding post would be useful with the
mini-banana plug.
