I have talked with a number of Elecraft rig owners who have had the jack
go dead. I guess this news did not get disseminated on this list. All
were word of mouth or on the air comments. I also have heard the various
work arounds more than once. Some folks have just been luckier than
others with their rigs. I did not know I had a problem until I unplugged
the headphones (1/8 inch stereo plug) from the jack. They had been
plugged in for almost a year when I tried listening to the speaker. It
was dead. So I wrote a note to Gary and got his response. I will dig it
out of my archives since this seems to be occurring to others' rigs
lately. Not uncommon from my unscientific statistical sampling.

K1 internal speaker dead
After many months of use my internal speaker went
silent. I had seen "K2 internal speaker dead"
postings and guessed that the same component was used
in both radios.
I did not want to unsolder the headphone jack. My
solution was to put a jumper from the audio source to
the speaker lead. If I do not want speaker output I
put a something ( http://tyrrell.us/amateur ) over the
speaker.
