Re: [Elecraft] Speaker problem
Copy of builders alert message. We have a new Builder Alert, covering the wiring of the new type (RoHS compliant) of K2 speaker jack. Read about it on our website at: http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/Builder's%20Alert%20New%20K2%20Speaker%20Jack%20Rev%20A.pdf This Alert applies to K2 kits purchased since August, 2006. If you have found that your external speaker doesn't work, please read this Alert. No parts need to be replaced, just some very minor rewiring work needs to be done to the external speaker jack. This change is not covered in the manual, but is in the new Errata (Rev F-10) also available on our website in the Manuals and Downloads section.

RE: [Elecraft] Speaker problem
Tom, If you are plugging the speaker into P5 on the CONTROL BOARD, it will NOT work there. Plug it into P5 on the RF Board and see what happens. If it still does not work, you may have wired the external speaker jack incorrectly - it was recently change (new ones have a hex nut) and the manual is no longer correct - check th eBuilder's alert on the Elecraft website. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Just got K2 5848 complete.

RE: [Elecraft] Speaker problem
Miswiring the external speaker jack should not keep the speaker from working, unless you reverse the copper (hot) and silver (ground) wires. The new speaker jack reversed the position of the hot connections so if it was wired according to the original illustration in the manual, there'd be no audio output from the jack if an external speaker was plugged in. That's because with the hot leads reversed, the tip of the external plug ends up connected to the speaker in the K2 instead of the hot lead from the RF board. But, with nothing in the jack the speaker would get normal audio. Don's suggestion about possibly plugging it into the wrong place sounds likely. The other thing is to make sure you inserted the leads into the plug correctly. That silver/copper polarity assumes you inserted the leads into the plug that goes to the RF board in the correct positions as shown in Figure 7-3 (page 79 in the manual).

Re: [Elecraft] speaker problem
Thanks Tom, It had been working fine. Just after I unplugged the headphones after only my 2nd qso, the speaker didn't work. Still plugged in the board. I wiggled it, nada. Not much it could be so I've ordered a new headphone jack. Use to, I could jumper it and it would disconnect when I plugged in the head phones. Now when I jumper it and plug in the phones, it don't disconnect. Also, the headphone jack seems to wiggle around inside. The outside is stable.

Maybe there was a bad batch? --- Yes, that seems to have been a problematic component. I wonder how many people who have had trouble used a large plug or plug adapter on the phones line there? I ask because my five-year-old K2's phone jack is FB after countless plug-ins and un-plugs, but I may be a lot more gentler on it than most. Instead of a large plug, I have a very small, lightweight right-angle plug with a small, flexible wire pig-tail that goes to a large jack for the phones connector. The pressure on the K2 jack is miniscule at best. The large connector lies on the desk. There's only a gram or two of weight on the connector and, since it's a right-angle connector, virtually no leverage to amplify pressure caused by moving the phones cord around. I used that simply because my favorite headphones are equipped with a 1/4-inch connector, and it didn't seem a good idea to use an in-line adapter that would place considerable stress on the tip of the plug inside the tiny jack on the K2.

The reason it went bad was because I was using an adapter to accommodate the 1/4 (large) plug on my headset. Either this amount of weight pulling down on the K2's phone jack, or (more likely) because the longer plug (with adapter) could easily be moved sideways during insertion/removal caused the switch inside the jack to go bad after not very much use. Since then I've used a headset with a 1/8 (small) plug with my K2 and the problem has not repeated. 73, de Earl, K6SE K2/100 #2622 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] speaker problem
I was using a small phone plug but it still failed after about a year. I use headphones most of the time so never took out the plug for the entire time.

Re: [Elecraft] speaker problem
It is a good idea to use a pigtail adapter if one is going from a small jack on a radio to a larger jack for legacy headphones that you prefer. Simply create a plug, pigtail of suitable audio flexible cable, and a jack to accomplish the transition without an adapter putting heavy weight onto the radio jack. Allow enough length for the adapter to be supported on the operating table surface. In line jacks might be hard to come by. However, a suitable protective boot can be fashioned over a conventional large jack with shrink tubing. Use as many sizes as you need to adapt from the back of the jack down to a smaller size for strain relief contact with the cable, telescoping one piece into another. Such adapters have allowed me to use 1950's high sensitivity military headphones on the most modern radios, with good results. I have done microphone adapters the same way, to switch from one brand of radio to another without changing the mike plug. A quarter inch jack will fit the body of some electronic push button switches that have a rectangular box structure that fits behind a rack panel. Just unscrew the switch guts, and use the box for the jack. The shrink tubing trick closes the back of the box as well.

Re: [Elecraft] speaker problem
The switch in my headphone jack fell apart within a few months even though the jack body was still firmly in place.
