John, No Don did not sleep in this morning :-) . He has been slaving over a hot soldering iron prior to enjoying lunch at a new restaurant.
Remove the right side panel and wiggle the plug for the speaker. If the speaker sound comes and goes, get a couple of new crimp pins and re-do the ends of the speaker wire. If there is still not sound from the speaker, there is a likelihood that the infamous little plastic lever inside the headphone which operates the switch has become broken. Replacement of the headphone jack is the only known cure, and no, there are no alternate headphone jacks. I understand that Elecraft has approached the jack vendor asking for a better jack, but to no avail. The only other known solution is to solder the side of the switch that closes the speaker circuit, and either leave the speaker on all the time or arrange a switch that you can reach from outside the K2 to turn off the speaker - A jack with no wires plugged into the external speaker jack will silence the speaker too. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/19/2011 1:57 PM, John Shadle wrote: > "Dave Sergeant"<d...@davesergeant.com> wrote... >> You have probably already checked this, but: >> >> Is the lead to the speaker plugged into P5 on th RF board? >> Do you get audio if you plug the headphones or a speaker into the rear >> Ext Speaker socket? >> Is the speaker itself OK, and all wiring intact? > I'll check all of that tonight and report back.
