Comrades, Thanks for all the ideas on what to do with the earphone jack. I conclude that no more robust jack is available that will fit. I switch from a headset to a cable to feed a very nice laptop based dsp cw terminal program (written by AG4ND) and so need to change the plug at least once almost every day. What I think I'm going to do is replace the external speaker jack on the back with a more substantial one and possibly use a small pigtail to minimize the number of changes on this new built-in one. Whenever the Aptos Gang gets back to the K2, I'd have to say from what I've seen here, that J2 would be a great candidate for a solid upgrade. But I do love the k2 73 AI4TO John Ferguson M/V Arcadian
