Don - The US Electrical Code Book (whatever year they are now working to) - makes a big distinction between all of these so called grounds. When vendors, like the IC-7000 put a hefty ground lug on their case - I'm assuming they expect prudent hams to have a copper coated ground rod outside of their shack - to which they connect these things to. The US Hospital industry remembers all too well, those patients who expired - because of faulty and different (!) ground systems in various wings of old and upgraded hospital facilities. I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the K2, but it is a solid topic for hams to understand.
I guess the answer is no, there is no defined ground plane in the K2. Fred N3CSY FL ____________________________________________________________________________________ Expecting?
