I don't use the external speaker jack so can't say what, if any, problems it has. (But I think I'm going to put my fixed-audio output jack in its place.) It was my headphone jack which died, and fairly quickly, killing the speaker output. The weak point of the headphone jack is a fragile sliding contact which is wired in series with the speaker; so if it fails speaker output is affected. 73, Drew AF2Z _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
