Curt,
I am not saying that at all. The BNC connector shell connects to the
ground plane of the board(s).
I am only saying that it may not have an RF low impedance path to the
GND post - emphasis on Low "Impedance"

So you are saying that a coax outer braid is not at ground potential
when connected to the BNC? How does that work? All the adapter does
dis connect the binding post to the BNC shell---seems this ADDS another
interface to the path. What am I missing Don?

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.
