Good afternoon All.
They say an un-asked question is the only "dumb" question. Well, here goes!
I'm an appliance operator and my technical skills are kinda shallow. I do have a DMM and know how to use it.
I'm in the planning stage of building my dream transceiver: aka an Elecraft K3.
After reading through the assembly manual [thanks to its availability on the Internet], it's very clear that I should not try such a project without an ESD Wrist Strap and ESD Mat. I have these in my possession as we speak. They were purchased from a commercial company advertising them as ESD items.
That leads me to my question. How can I be assured that this Mat IS grounding a PCB [or anything else] during the "build" process?
I checked the resistance of the Wrist Strap and sure enough there is a 1M Ohm resistor in there.
I cannot figure a way to check the Mat's grounding. It's "alligator clip" is attached to my station's woven metal Ground Strap system.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Best 73.
