[Elecraft] KX3 microphone nut size

[Mooneer Salem]

Tried some normal 1/4"-20 hex nuts from Lowe's too (much too thick mind
you, but should at least confirm if the diameter/TPI are correct) and no
such luck.

Interestingly, I took off the nut from a spare SMA pigtail and it was able
to mate it with the microphone connector. However, I couldn't rotate it
past 1/2 turn or so and I didn't want to force it with tools and
potentially damage the jack. If it was the correct size, I'd have been able
to tighten it much further by hand, right?
