I vaguely someone suggesting connecting a power
pole to a single mini banana plug via a short
lead. Then different counterpoise lengths can be
connected via the power pole, and will still pull
out from the banana socket if stepped on.
Seems like a good plan, and there would be other
ways to implement the same concept -- so dealing
with connecting to the mini banana plug need be
done only once.

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.

It would be nice if Elecraft offered a

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.
