Re: [Elecraft] K3 -- Strange speaker problem
Hi Joel, It sounds like you have phones plugged in somewhere. The traditional way of wiring rigs is that plugging in phones mutes the speaker (usually they're powered from the same output stage). The K3 has separate output stages for spkr and cans, and the switching is done by logic. Most of us who plug boom mic headsets into the rear panel assign SPKR + PHONES to one of the PF keys -- I use PF2. SPKR+PHONES is a toggle, so it either activates or de-activates muting of the speaker. This is documented in the part of the manual that describes the menu system. 73, Jim K9YC On 4/2/2019 5:44 PM, Joel Hallas wrote: I was surprised to find I had no speaker audio with either internal or external speaker(s).

Re: [Elecraft] K3 -- Strange speaker problem
I'm a new K3s owner as of October, but I'll take a stab! I leave phones plugged in to the back of the rig all of the time and an external speaker all of the time. My settings are SPKRS = 2 and SPKR+PH =yes. Hope that helps!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 -- Strange speaker problem
Joel, I don’t own a K3 so I am not familiar with all of the audio output settings but is it possible you have a set of headphones plugged in that is disconnecting the speaker? If not, maybe a dirty headphone jack?
