[Elecraft] Free K1 headphone jack to needy ham

[ac7a@gci-net.com]

Andy,

My K1 headphone went dead after the first few weeks of use.
I tried resoldering it and that didn't make any difference.
Elecraft was contacted and they promptly sent a new one. If
your does go bad, treat it like one of those strip
connectors that are incorrectly installed; cut it appart
with wire cutterts before desoldering it. All those little
pins make it hard to pry off the board while desoldering.
