Re: [Elecraft] [KX3} Unable to engage screw into KXFL3
The screw does not engage the board it just gots through the hole to stop it from moving out of socket. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-Unable-to-engage-screw-into-KXFL3-tp7582759p7582772.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] [KX3} Unable to engage screw into KXFL3
Re: "which is exactly the same as the screw that was already there, " Jamie, I forgot something. Be sure to measure the length of the screw. The screw that was there should have been 1/4 inch long. The new one should be 1/2 inch (or very close to that). They should be measured from the top of the flat head to the end of the threaded end. I found a couple of screws (not that one) in my kit that were the next smaller length. The screw packer must have had a bad day and put the wrong length in. Elecraft was quick to send new ones that were the correct length.

I found that the main board can be in different positions relative to the case, and that loosening the bottom screws allowed me to move it around slightly making the hold-down screw fit much better, and then tightened everything up. 73 de n1dam __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: "I received my filter board for my KX3, but the ½”, 13mm screw will not engage the screw hole in the filter board. " Jamie, As the instructions say, the "screw must pass into the hole in the KXFL3 module." Mine just barely passes INTO the hole and does not project THROUGH the hole. Its threads do not engage the surface of the hole at all since the hole diameter is larger than the screw diameter. It works fine for keeping the module from falling out during transport. Hope that helps.

Jamie, If the KXFL3 module is installed correctly, the 1/2 inch long screw should protrude through the KXFL3 board locking it in place. Make certain the KXFL3 board is installed correctly into the header before inserting the screw. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/11/2014 4:18 PM, James C.
