I leave headphones and a microphone plugged into the front panel jacks and a headset plugged into the rear jacks. I turn the speakers on and off with the macro:
MN097;UP;MN255; No wear and tear on the jacks. I have macros set up in my K-Pod, DXLab's Commander module, and VA2FSQ's Win4K3Suite, though only one would be sufficient!

Hi Martin - My K3 is on its second headphone jack, due to symptoms like yours. Recently it started doing this again, but I was inside the radio for another issue and reseated some boards (including KIO3 if I remember correctly) and it stopped happening. You might look into that before you replace hardware. 73, Pete N4ZR On 2/14/2023 10:43 AM, Martin Schmiedel wrote: > Elecrafters, > > i think the headphone jack on my K3 #2878 is failing.
