Can anyone tell me thread size for ground post of the PGXL? I need to get a washer and wingnut but do not see any documentation on the thread size for the ground post on the rear of the PGXL. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Curiosly, M5-0.8 thread is almost identical to a 10-32 thread.
Interestingly, a 10-32 machine **** will thread into an M5-0.8 nut but an M5-0.8 machine **** will not thread into a 10-32 nut.

I can't but any hardware store can. They carry **** templates for just this purpose. Just in case you need this info in a hurry...

This is an entertaining thread.
OP asks for thread size, gets referal to hardware store.
Then comment that it's metric; that's a start. Now all we need is a diameter and pitch.
Then his question will be answered!

I just measured mine.
It is M5 with a .8 pitch.

@"Gordon, ve7on" Confirmed spot on Thanks. M5-0.8 is the correct size. Thanks.0

The PGXL Quick Start Guide and the PGXL User Guide do not address station grounding for the PGXL. The photo of the rear panel in the User Guide shows the ground post but it is not in the numbered description list. Recommend that Flex update the documentation to include station grounding information and, of course, the size and pitch of the wingnut required (verified on my PGXL as M5 with a .8 pitch). And maybe... maybe even include a wingnut with the PGXL?1
