i have made a new safety lanyard for my KX1...  i have the new safety
lanyard crimped to a 7/16 Ring Tongue Lug and it 
fits over the BNC connector.... The lug is easy to put on and take off by
tilting it. It will catch the KX1 even if there is no mating BNC connector
attached.

Paul, if I understand your description correctly, then the KX1 is being
carried by the BNC connector when it's held by the lanyard. 

The BNC connector is *not* connected to the case. It is only soldered to
pads at one end of the PC-board inside. I would expect that you are in
serious danger of breaking the PC board if much strain is applied to the BNC
connector.
