--------------------------------------------------- Yes, that seems to have been a problematic component. I wonder how many people who have had trouble used a large plug or plug adapter on the phones line there? I ask because my five-year-old K2's phone jack is FB after countless plug-ins and un-plugs, but I may be a lot more gentler on it than most. Instead of a large plug, I have a very small, lightweight right-angle plug with a small, flexible wire pig-tail that goes to a large jack for the phones connector. The pressure on the K2 jack is miniscule at best. The large connector lies on the desk. There's only a gram or two of weight on the connector and, since it's a right-angle connector, virtually no leverage to amplify pressure caused by moving the phones cord around. I used that simply because my favorite headphones are equipped with a 1/4-inch connector, and it didn't seem a good idea to use an in-line adapter that would place considerable stress on the tip of the plug inside the tiny jack on the K2. Maybe I'm just lucky. Maybe not. Ron AC7AC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
