Yes, it is a hassle getting a stiff copper wire on that little ground
screw. I use 1" braid with a strip of copper sheet folded and soldered
over the end and a screw hole drilled through-- basically, homemade flat
terminal lugs on the ends of the braid. Very easy to manage now.

Ok, I just rebuilt my station and wonder how many of you actually ground
your K3 or your rig? I have the amp and tuner grounded, but I find
grounding the K3 somewhat difficult. Why? Getting my fat ham fingers to
the rear if the rig and tighting up the knurled knob with stiff wire is
quite infuriating. All the connecting cables are in the way and it just
trips my trigger. Then being able to reach over all the doodads and
geegaws to attach ground is a frustration of mine. Many years ago it was
good practice to use solid wire but now i see others using braid. Stiff
wire adds to my frustration. So, for my mental health I would like some
suggestions or ideas how best to deal with this. I know...suck it up.
There has got to be a better way.
