KX2: mini-banana plug

Had my KX2 some days now and very pleased with it. I thought I would buy
some mini-banana plugs for the counterpoise, but they are too small to
properly fix in the hole provided. I had assumed that the KX2GNDPLUG would
be a standard size. Postage from USA makes for a very expensive little
item.

The mini-banana plugs as available from the likes of Amazon are 2mm
diameter. I can only assume that the KX2GNDPLUG is bigger?

Thanks for any comments,

73, Stephen G4SJP (KX2 #1200).

Re: KX2: mini-banana plug

Further to my previous message, thanks to Ben W4SC, I have identified the
plug I need.

For UK readers, put Pomona 2945-0 into your favourite auction site and you
will find several at decent prices.

The Pomona 2945-0 uses a set screw to secure the wire. Pomona 3690-0
and 4617-0 also fit the KX2 but the wire is soldered to the plug.
