ELECRAFT K3 Installation Instructions Manual page 11

As you install components and reassemble your K3, be sure all the screws are in place
and secure, but do not over tighten them. Failure to tighten all screws may result in poor
shielding of sensitive components, resulting in possible noise or birdies in the receiver as well
as other difficult-to-trace problems.
Mount the KXV3 rear panel over the BNC connectors using two 4-40 1/2" (13mm) black pan head screws
through the corner holes with #4 inside tooth lock washers and 4-32 nuts on the inside as shown in Figure 8. Do
not fully tighten the nuts yet.
Adjust the depth the KXV3 board connector mates J66 on the RF board so the KXV3 connector panel is
parallel with the back panel. The pins on the KXV3 board connector do not go all the way into J66 as shown in
Figure 9.
ESD SENSITIVE!
Tighten the screws and nuts holding the KXV3 to the back panel that you installed earlier (See Figure 8) .
