[Elecraft] Speaker jack

[Jeremiah McCarthy]

This speaker jack problem applies only to basic K-2's...I assumed that Dohn was talking about a basic K-2...The basic K-2 cover is not installed in a KPA-100 so the external speaker jack cannot cause a problem...I always use the external speaker jack to obtain output to the computer sound card when aligning the filters with Spectrogram...This is how I discovered that the new style jacks were different from the old ones...When an external speaker (or a cable to your computer) is plugged into one of these new speaker jacks, the internal speaker goes mute and there is no output to the computer...Reversing the "AF" and "SP" connections at the jack (page 79) corrects it...

>>I have encountered several of these "faulty" jacks...If the jack has a 7/16" hex nut to attach it to the panel, it is a new jack in the >>Elecraft world and it is internally wire in reverse to the originals, which had a knurled thumb screw type nut...The fix is >>simple...Referring to page 79 in the manual, reverse the positions of wires "AF" and "SP"...
