[Elecraft] 10 meters open -- possibly even 6 m

[Joel Kluender]

All,

Because my K2 is on the bench at the moment - in
pieces - I fired up the Radio Shack HTX-10 which was
in the closet and went mobile with the 102" stainless
steel whip this early evening. Had a near QSO with a
NC station, and heard lots of 4-land beacons around
7:30 PM local. Not a wide open band, but enough to get
my 10-meter juices flowing.

Now I know that using a RS rig instead of a K2 is kind
of like renting a Yugo when the Mercedes is in  the
shop but hey - one must work with what one has at any
given time :)

While I am writing this e-mail - does anyone have info
on in-circuit testing the suspect headphone jack of my
K2 with a multimeter before I go ahead and do the
desoldering job? (I am getting no audio out of the
internal speaker even though the speaker tests OK so I
suspect the headphone jack)
