I leave my headphones plugged into the rear jack and turn the speakers on and off with a macro (actually a "user-defined sequence" in DXLab's Commander), so no wear and tear on the jack.
73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- John, While replacing the headphone jack might prove difficult, you may be able to form the contacts that disconnect the speaker a bit and get it working properly. You will likely have to be able to decipher and follow the schematic to properly identify the correct contacts to properly accomplish that repair. Removing the left side panel will give you access to the 'business' side of the headphone jack. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/2/2014 4:54 PM, John Kendra wrote: > I've been having a similar problem with my front headphone jack. When I plug in my headphone sometimes there is an attenuated signal also coming out of my external speaker. If I jiggle the headphone plug I get get the speaker to eventually go off. I do have the K3 configured to disable the speaker with the head phone. > > It looks like it would be tough to replace the headphone jack. > > John N4LJS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
