There is a threaded bolt or stud on the back of the transceiver. Us it and connect it to the power supply ground. Then the ground on the power supply is the "station ground" point for all other equipment as well. On the K3S it is time #38 marked GROUND.

If the piece of equipment does not provide such, then one will need to be added. Be sure to remove the paint from both inside and outside of the area where one drills the hole. A #8 screw, add internal tooth lock washer and #8 nut and this will be adequate. Be mindful when drilling from the outside to the inside that the bit does not suddenly grap and drag the rotating bit into the inside causing damage to whatever it may strike. I prefer removing the rear panel and use a drill press for any drilling and de-burring. That way there's no chance of metal shavings getting inside.

I am a firm believer in a good ground for ANY transceiver,  but need advice:
Where would be the best location (internal  OR external ) to install a small 
bolt for attaching a ground rather than having to us a “clip” attached to a 
ground.
