[Elecraft] No speaker audio

[G3SJJ]

I have the same fault here Kirk but not induced in the same way! Reading 
previous comments it seems like early component failure. I think the 
only way to fix it is replacement. I am currently using an external 
powered speaker until I get round to requesting a new component.
