[Elecraft] XV50 no output

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,
Properly tightened against the internal tooth lockwashers, those RCA 
jacks should not loosen.
Unless someone used substitutes, they have a hex nut on each side of the 
panel and an internal tooth lockwasher on each side of the panel too.
Use wrenches (spanners for you) or pliers and tighten them securely.  
The internal tooth lockwashers need to 'bite' securely into the aluminum.
