Mike,
Mine went on first time......here is a tip you might wish to
try....(having first checked that you have not, by accident got the right
nut confused with another on your bench). Offer up the nut to the threads on
the antenna connector. Then turn it anti clockwise until you feel a "click".
This click is the end of the thread on the nut passing over the end of the
thread of the antenna conector....as soon as you feel the click turn the
nnut clockwise and the threads will engage and Sam is your uncle (over here
we say Bob!). You can use your fingers to tighten it up....dont bother witha
spanner (wrench in the colonies?) unless you want to tighten it up at the
end a tad...finger tight works for me....
Regards, Steve G0XAR

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Antenna Nut: It can't be this hard
Hi all. I've been assembling my K2 since thursday and having a ton of
fun. Last night I just finished the last assembly steps and I'm about to
move on to the third set of testing (and aligning) of the transmitter.
There is just one thing that has got me stuck: the nut that goes on the
antenna jack.
This can't POSSIBLY be this hard. I've tried. I've had someone else try.
I just can NOT get the thing on. It seems impossible to get the thing on
straight. If I do get it to catch it quickly seems to end up crooked and
then falling off.
Is there some kind of special secret here? I've even tried screwing it on
backwards (CCW instead of CW) but that didn't work (no surprise).
Tips?
