[Elecraft] K2 speaker jack question

[AJSOENKE at aol.com]

I just replaced the connector on my K2 #4887  because the internal bypass 
switch that is supposed to connect the speakers when  the headphones are 
unplugged wasn't making contact. Check continuity across the  bypass switch contacts 
with the power off and the headphones unplugged. If it's  not a dead short you 
may have a damaged  jack. Mine worked OK when new but  after 2 years of almost 
constant headphone use the connection just wasn't there.  I'll dissect the 
broken jack someday to see what caused the open.
