[Elecraft] K2 - Question KIO2

[Tom McCulloch]

I'm having a bit of trouble with the KIO2 in my K2 and when I was poking 
around to see what was what, one of the brass nuts came off of J1 (J1 is the 
nine pin jack that sticks out the back of the K2).  The two brass nuts were 
originally soldered onto J1 before J1 was attached to the KIO2 PC board. But 
now that it's attached I can't get the nut back on.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get that nut back on to J1, I 
can't seem to hold it in place to re-solder.  I'm tempted to try a drop of 
crazy glue?

The KIO2  still doesn't seem to be communicating.  I re-soldered all of the 
J1 connections to the PC board, which was suggested in the troubleshooting 
section of the manual, but it's still not talking to my computer (that's how 
the problem with the nut started).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may offer.
