[Elecraft] K2 Scratchy received audio

[Stewart Baker]

OK,  here's a small problem with a simple solution..

Symptom:-  Received audio sounding scratchy, suspected loudspeaker.

Problem:-   Bad contact. The plating (Tin ?) had worn through on loudspeaker 
connector female crimp pins. 

Does anyone remove their K2 top cover more than me ?

Solution:-    Replaced the worn female crimp pins with new ones.

I will now look for a replacement plug and socket with gold flashing.
