[Elecraft] BNC Connector on KX3

[John Svihra]

If you mean the whole connector is loose on the KX3, you have to get inside and tighten the nut holding it on to the box.  I just did this, and it was easier than I thought.  You have to open up the radio and look where the connector is attached.  I had a 2-meter board and an ATU board underneath it, blocking access to the nut.  I had to remove these boards, and I was then able to use an end wrench to tighten the nut.  This was easy involving 5 screw/nuts. Details given in the KX3 assembly manual.  Be sure to remove all power and batteries before beginning.  Be careful of electrostatic charges in handling the boards and handle the attached cables carefully.
If you mean the inside connector of BNC itself, there is a tubular tool that slides inside to tighten or loosen this.  Search for BNC conector wrench or spanner.
