[Elecraft] NG0R - K2+K60XV+XV144/222/432 - Setup Issue

John,

I suspect that you have the backshells assembled incorrectly.  There is 
a groove about 1/16 inch in from the edge where the metal of the 
connector body should be positioned.  There should be no need to cut the 
plastic.  Study the diagram in th emanual carefully.

73,
