[Elecraft] big problem

[Don Wilhelm]

What Dick mentioned is entirely true in my experience, but I might add 
that the condition should be corrected promptly.  The fact that the 
connector is loose also says that there is a marginal electrical contact 
that is prone to arcing and heating, and in the extreme could cause a 
fire to develop.  For your own safety as well as the health of your K3, 
correct it promptly.
