[Elecraft] Oddball tool question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That sounds like the tool I used on GE radios, except that mine had a
simple screwdriver handle on it. 

But my K2's jacks do not have nuts with the slots in them. I haven't
seen the slots in those types of nuts in years. 

Are you saying that your K2 has nuts on the headphone, key and speaker
jacks with the slots in them??

I run a 2-way radio shop and have a tool that I bought from Bendix/King
Radio back about 15 years ago.  It is a tube (with square sides to put a
wrench on) and on each end it is a different diameter with 2 opposing
teeth that the fit the slots on the knurled nuts.  One side for the
2.5mm and the other side for the 3.5mm type.  It's been an invaluable
tool ever since. The Bendix/King portables had two jacks on the side, a
2.5 for the earphone
and a 3.5 for Rf.   So there is a tool out there...Relm Communications
now
owns the B/K radio line and don't know if they still offer the
tool...but I will check on Monday.  If it's available I would consider
buying a large qty of these and supplying the group.
