[Elecraft] K144XV & KRX3A, install which first in K3s?

[Don Wilhelm]

Carl,

I think I understand why you are confused.  Yes, since you already have 
the rear panel with the ANT3 hole, resume about the middle of page 12 
where it begins with "Locate the TMP cable ..."

In order to tighten the BNC connector, you may find it easier to loosen 
the panel and tilt it back, but if you can get whichever tool you are 
using to tighten the nut on securely without removing the panel, that is 
OK too.  Make certain the BNC jack is adequately tight.

73,
