Mark,

Yes, the hole is just a bit too small - it must be reamed slightly.

You only have to take a little metal from the inside of the hole.

Thanks, Don.  Yes, I found I had to ream the existing hole *very* little,
maybe one or two 1/100 of an inch, for the jack to pass through without
forcing it.  The difference did not feel like extra paint; it felt like the
hole was in fact just a bit too small.

[Elecraft] K2 external speaker hole

[Mark Petrovic]

In the top cover for my K2 S/N/ 7809, the external speaker hole is way too
small for the jack to pass through.  Is it the design intent of the K2 that
this jack be screwed in?  Or should it pass through without forcing it?  Or
does it matter?

Thanks.
