But why push the limits? Using a stereo plug will eliminate the
possibility of a future failure initiated by the shorted output. A
short on the output *does* stress the components even if they can handle it.
Changing to a stereo plug should not be difficult for any ham who can
solder - or build an adapter if you don't like cutting the headphone cord.

Joe, you may be right, but the description of the Revision C mod says, "This
modification protects the K3's audio amplifier if either speaker output is connected to a
short circuit or very low impedance load."
Since I've made this mod, I'd like (hope) to know that this protects the audio
amp.
