K2 NB comment and other question

lstavenhagen
Hi all,

First my question. I seem to have lost the largish nut that is used to secure the BNC antenna connector to the back panel on my K2. Does anyone know the size of the nut used here? Tho I suppose it'd be easiest to just order one from Elecraft, but I'm just curious what size to look for if I try to find on locally?

As for the NB, I built and installed it on Friday and have been using it to listen in on the ARRL DX contest going on this weekend. Seems like I've read comments here and there in the archives that it reduces sensitivity and doesn't work right etc... Er, mine is brilliant! It turns out to knock out my local line noise virtually perfectly, transforming the rig into complete usability at night...
I don't know if it actually does affect sensitivity as I haven't "A/B" 'ed it with the rig before I put the NB in but I don't seem to notice any.

So just thought I'd throw that out there in case anyone was wondering about the K2 NB....

LS

The nut is the same thread that's used (US-made) volume
controls and rotary switches.

My references say that is a 1/2-28 threading.  5/8 across the flats.
