Ryan,
You need 2 wrenches (not pliers) - preferably thin ones. Tighten the
nut down until the lockwashers bite into the KX3 enclosure metal so the
teeth have good conductivity to the enclosure.

I recently bought and installed the KX3-2M transverter module in one of my KX3s
and am enjoying a much better experience receiving the downlink from the Mode B
AMSAT birds, compared to the TH-F6A I was using previously. Sensitivity and
ergonomics are a huge improvement.
Unfortunately, I find that the SMA connector loosens very quickly. I've already had to open the case and almost completely uninstall the transverter once (undoing and redoing everything except the internal coax connections) just to retighten the nut, and it's already worked itself loose again. Does anyone have a trick they used to keep the nut from loosening? I can't get a lot of leverage with needlenose pliers
