Hi Mike,
My K2's phone jack has been broken for over a year. I can't afford to
have it replaced. But your's should still be under warranty. Get it
replaced now. I am not sure how long they last though. I had an email
from Gary Surrency explaining what happens to the jacks and it sounds like
they break quite often. One day I may replace it but I will try to find
one which lasts longer.
I did not know it was broken for the longest time since I use my
headphones exclusively. Maintains domestic amity :) But I was going to
use the internal speaker while running the Elecraft booth station and
found the problem. So I used a computer speaker, power supply, and a y
cable. Worked pretty well and got a number of folks to the booth just to
copy the contacts.
Good luck,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Hi Fellow Elecrafters,
My K2 internal speaker is dead.
I had messed up a crimp pin in the initial stages of assembly and so was
not even using the internal speaker but only using headphones. I
discovered tonight that I had an extra crimp pin. So, I got it
installed. plugged to P5 ( I think it is) but no audio from internal
speaker or from external speaker jack, only through headphones. I
checked the archives and found that there have been problems in the past
and that apparently it comes back to some bad contacts in the headphone
jack. So, should I just get Elecraft to send me another headphone jack
or should I check something else??
Thanks in Advance,
Mike
