[Elecraft] BNC Connector on KX3

[geoffrey allsup]

I noticed this issue when I first assembled my KX3.  The simple cure for me after tightening the BNC a couple of times early on was to use a right-angle BNC adapter all the time.  No more problems, and the coax conveniently pays off to the rear of the rig :-)
