Mark,

While that might work, remember that the counterpoise(s) are a part of the antenna, and not a "ground". It is better to use a BNC to binding post adapter and connect the counterpoise to the black binding post - no dependency on conductivity through the enclosure. The BNC jack shells do not have a dependable low resistance path to the GND post.

Hi.  I suspect this is obvious to most readers, but to use a long wire
antenna with the K2 with the KAT2 option, one connects the antenna to the
ANT1 center conductor, and the counterpoises to the GND terminal?

Thanks.
