I had exactly the same problem. I tried for a long time and gave
up. I got a nut from another BNC connector in the junk box and it
went on right away. Something is not right with those nuts.
A recommendation for all new builders: try it before you install the
antenna jack. It is probably not a bad idea to try out all the nuts
for connectors / jacks before installing them.

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?
