<DIV>Randy,</DIV>
<DIV>You misunderstood what retaining nut I am talking about. It is NOT a nut that completes part of the RF circuit. It is a nut that retains the body of the connector in the SPEKTRUM housing, just like the nut that retains an RJ-6 connector in the back of a cable box or a TV. If it comes loose far enough, it can allow the whole connector body to rotate, pulling loose the connection on the circuit board. It is the flat nut shown at the bottom right of the picture below that retains the connector to the plastic housing.</DIV></DIV>
