I'm asking what method and
attachment point, to each piece of equipment, you experienced K-Line owners
use to bond the K3s, P3, SP3, etc. and then on to the station ground.
I use wires soldered to screw lugs, making sure that the attachment
point is not insulated from the chassis by paint. Some of the equipment
has a dedicated grounding screw. Shells of DB connectors SHOULD be
bonded to the equipment chassis, but not always -- some mfrs screw up
and fail to do that.
Some of my equipment goes out in the field from time to time, so I use
single circuit Power Pole connectors to make that easy. I'll use 2-6"
between the lug and the PowerPole, then make a loop soldered to a
PowerPoles that connect to each piece of gear in the string (so each
connector has two wires). There are lots of suitable variations on this,
depending on how the shack is laid out.
These are the slides for my talks on station power, grounding, and
bonding. http://k9yc.com/GroundingAndAudio.pdf
