Mine has failed *twice* now (requiring a replacement jack both times).
I am kind of fearful to plug anything into it anymore.
For me, at this point, it is almost predictable that it *will* fail (YMMV).
It's funny. I have K2 s/n 709 which was built in the first year that the
K2 was released, and I do a reasonable amount of plugging and unplugging
of both the phones and external speaker jack, and have had no problems.
I think that getting components like this of reasonable quality is
becoming more difficult, as consumer electronic devices today seem to be
designed to fail quickly so that you will buy new ones.
I'm not talking about the K2, just the fact that there may not be a big
market for high-quality components out there. I know that Elecraft tries
to buy the best!
