[Elecraft] K3 Quickest way to access loose AUX RF nut

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Erik, probably the easiest way to get to the nut is through the KPA100
enclosure. Download the 12DC Power Mod instructions
(http://www.elecraft.com/manual/12VDC%20Current%20Modification.pdf ) They
show you how to get into the rear panel, by removing the fan panel and
KPA100 module (ignore the instructions about removing the bottom cover). 

I bet you can get in and tighten it up and get out all in less than 30
minutes even if working very slowly and carefully.

Just pulled my K3 off the operating shelf for travel to Field Day.
Discovered that the AUX RF BNC connector is quite loose. Started to loosen
adjoining case panels to tighten the nut, but didn't find a way to easily
get at the nut. Since I don't need this connection for FD, and I don't have
time to spend, I will just defer fixing the problem until I get home.
However, if there is a best way to do the job, without removing the second
RX etc, I'd like to know. Any advice?

 

Thanks and 73,

Erik K7TV
