When I was checking the mod instructions out, I discovered the same thing. While in that area, I did exactly as Ron suggested. Call it a ten minute job!

Download the 12DC Power Mod instructions (http://www.elecraft.com/manual/12VDC%20Current%20Modification.pdf ) They show you how to get into the rear panel, by removing the fan panel and KPA100 module (ignore the instructions about removing the bottom cover). I bet you can get in and tighten it up and get out all in less than 30 minutes even if working very slowly and carefully. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Just pulled my K3 off the operating shelf for travel to Field Day. Discovered that the AUX RF BNC connector is quite loose. Started to loosen adjoining case panels to tighten the nut, but didn't find a way to easily get at the nut. Since I don't need this connection for FD, and I don't have time to spend, I will just defer fixing the problem until I get home. However, if there is a best way to do the job, without removing the second RX etc, I'd like to know. Any advice? Thanks and 73, Erik K7TV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
