The "Elecraft procedure" is easier written than done (I've 
fought with (and lost) the lockwashers more times that I 
care to).  

Running the cables and getting the KRX3 in place is also not 
the most simple/intuitive operation.  It's certainly not a 
five minute job for me even though I've pulled and installed 
KRX3 several times between my two rigs.
