There were comments made about the seating of the connectors and
threading issues.  One other variable that I have encountered is that
the mounting studs come in two flavors,  US standard and metric standard
threads.   If they bind up within a turn or two the chance exists that
they are not the same threads.

Not having a K3 I can't check what one it has but it is an American
company.   Keep it in mind and thread carefully.  For those in the UK I
have not encountered any BA threads, Hi.

I have an awful lot of 0 to 8 BA screws, bolts, nuts and washers, lock and
plain !

I thought all standard D connectors use the same jack screws.

Well in that case, what thread std do Elecraft use, otherwise aren't we
likely to get metric over here?

It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have
learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human
being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.

Elecraft use, what are referred to as #4 screw threads. If your K3, like
mine, was not provided with screwjacks for both the DB9 and the DE15
connectors you will need to find some from your own surplus stock. If
you do, make sure they are of the correct thread.

[End of thread] no pun intended, but please take any further discussion
off list.
