[Elecraft] AXT1--with a twist

[Don Wilhelm]

Eric,

Go to the hardware fastener section of your favorite hardware store or 
DIY store.
Most of them have a "tool" (card) to determine screw and thread sizes - 
use it and buy the appropriate thumbscrew or other fastener.

To help you a bit, I would say that the screw thread is either 4-40, 
6-32 or 8-32 - those are the commonly used sizes.

Yes, there may be an Elecraft thumbscrew.  Once you determine the size, 
look through the KX3 assembly manual to see if there is a match in 
thread size.

73,

However, I noticed on the TATX1 that although it has a threaded hole for attaching radial wire(s), there is no thumbscrew provided, nor is there any mention in the instruction sheet as to what the thread size is.  Attaching the radial to my KX2 is a PITA as it is another wire to manage getting in and out of the seat.
