I agree. I was a total neophyte when I assembled my K3S. I used a cheap mat

Dale and all,
I would add to that --
When working without an antistatic mat, how much charge is on the tools

Also where do you put any removed boards to assure that they do not

How can I tell if the mods (as opposed to upgrades) have been done?
In addition to adding filters, I'll be installing a KSYN3A, and K-Pod (power
