Re: [Elecraft] K3 Intermittent Line Out Audio

Bill,

A look at the K3 schematics will reveal that none of the Line Out 
signals flow through any of the contacts on the headphone jack.
I believe your experience is just happenstance and the real source of 
your problem will be found elsewhere.

doing just fine.  Really aggravating!  Does it make sense that the headphone
