Tom, It should be easy to get the nut back on. Remove the assembly from the K2 - then attach the nut to the shell with either one of the jackscrews provided or use a chasiss screw. Then re-solder the nut onto the shell - use a large iron tip with a lot of heat mass. Use more solder than you did the last time :-) .
Make the DC voltage checks on the board and report back to us if you have not found the problem. Let us know what software you have to drive the KIO2 and perhaps we can make further suggestions. 73, Don W3FPR Tom McCulloch wrote: > I'm having a bit of trouble with the KIO2 in my K2 and when I was poking > around to see what was what, one of the brass nuts came off of J1 (J1 is the > nine pin jack that sticks out the back of the K2).
