"as anyone had any experience with the headphone jack failing?  Actually,
what is happening is that the headphone jack works fine .... but when I
pull the plug out I get no audio in the speaker.  I would guess that the
little switch in the plug has failed.  I am not looking forward to the
possibility of trying to remove and replace J2 ... any suggestions?  Is
it 'repairable'rather than replaceable?"

My K2's headphone jack failed in the same way shortly after it was new. 
The jack is not repairable.  A call to Elecraft and a new jack was
quickly sent in the mail.  The new jack has not failed.
