I just found my instruction for disassembling the K2 on the web at
http://www.qsl.net/wy3a/Replace_K2_Headphone_Jack.htm.
The instructions are specifically for the K2/100, but if you have the
K2/10, removing the top cover is similar to the instructions for
removing the KPA100.

Tomy,
Yes, that does indicate that the switch at the back of the headphone
jack has failed.
No it is not hard to replace *if* you know which screws to remove to
expose the jack.
If you do not have good desoldering equipment, crush the plastic part of
the jack with pliers or whatever tool works, then remove the leads one
at a time. Clean up with solder wick and if the holes still have solder
in them, heat the solder pads and push a wooden toothpick or a stainless
steel needle through to clear the hole. Do not use anything that will
damage the thru-plating that is inside the hole.
If you do not know how to disassemble the K2, send me an off-list email
and I will send you the instructions.

When pulling out the head phones from the jack I do not have the K2 speaker
working. Just the head phones speakers.
I am using the Heil Proset head set.
Would that indicate a bad head phones jack?How hard is it to replace? 73! Tomy
