Hi Guys, I've never posted to this group before but I decided to put in my 2 cents regarding the Grounding Mat discussions. Seems all y'all making this way too scientific......but maybe I'm missing something........
For a grounding mat I simply used the anti-static bag the RF board was packaged in. I clipped my wrist strap to it until the radio grew to be a chassis. At that time I clipped the wrist strap to the chassis but kept the "mat" in place. All sub-assembly components were unwrapped on the "mat". Hence everything was the same potential. The result: I didn't spend money on a mat I would only occasionally use and #3995 is performing flawlessly. I guess you might call it the "mid-west farm boy" approach, make due with what you have. Lots of smart folks on this reflector and I really enjoy the technical chatter. 73, Stan, KF4BY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
