To minimize wear on the jacks, I use a Radio Shack "Stereo Audio Source Selector" 3-way switch which is plugged into the K3 speaker jack. It selects either the powered Sony computer speakers or one of two headphones, one of which is a Heil Proset Plus.
Jim N7US -----Original Message----- Hi, I have also recently moved my Heil proset to the rear and so far I have not had any problems. With that said, I don't have a very comfortable feeling about the quality of the 1/8" sockets on the K3. There is a lot of wiggle and the plugs don't seem to seat properly in the sockets. I am not sure if there is such a thing as a quality 1/8" phone socket, especially the stereo ones. I wish Elecraft (and Heil for that matter) had avoided them.
