Currently to one of the case screws with a ring terminal. When the AXT1 shows up, I'm going to create a pigtail from that antenna mount specifically using a .183 quick connect and a PowerPole (or maybe just a quick connect to the counterpoise wire like the Superantenna does. On Mon, Oct 29, 2018

The double binding post adapter isn’t what I have in mind - I’m thinking specifically about use with the AX1 which needs a counterpoise. Rich Hurd WC3T, where are you attaching your pigtail? -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/

I have a little pigtail with a PowerPole connector on it. Folds nicely out of the way. On Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 19:04 Don Wilhelm wrote: > Ken, > > I don't know about mounting a mini-banana jack, but you could look at > the left end of the heatsink (heatsink facing you) for a good grounding >

Ken, I don't know about mounting a mini-banana jack, but you could look at the left end of the heatsink (heatsink facing you) for a good grounding point other than the thumbscrews. Installing a mini-banana jack would involve drilling holes in the case. There is not a lot of free space to do
