Sounds familar Mike -- I just finsihed my K2 last week. When I tried
installing the nut -- it did not fit.
If you read the instructions somewhere it says -- remove the nuts supplied
with the antenna and key/speaker jacks -- well in my case they were removed
and supplied separately. I decided to leave them all off for time being as
I am now building SSB, K60 and DSP options and will have to dissassemble the
RF board to install these. Will eventually go to my junkbox to find a proper
nut.

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?
