Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard for a detailed drawing of the thread profile. 73, Gary KI4GGX P.S. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE PER THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ASSEMBLY MANUAL to ensure that RF doesn't leak from the enclosure. (This will become even more critical if/when you install the 100W PA.) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] K3 #685 arrived
Hello, K3/10 #685 basic kit arrived 28 April. Arrived in VK on 9 April, spent over 2 weeks in Australian customs. Inventory done, all there but no 4-40 nuts. I'm used to metric sizes, can anyone tell me what 4-40 refers to, so I can see if they are available locally, I don't want to wait another week!
