[Elecraft] K2 headset jack

[Stan Rife]

	I plugged in my headset and used it the other day. When I unplugged
it I had no audio from the external speaker jack, which is what I am using
with an external speaker. Even when I unplugged the external speaker I still
have no audio. The only way I can get audio now is the plug something in to
the headset jack.

	What happens to these headset jacks? Is there a contact breaking off
in there? It was never intermittent and always worked fine up until this
incident. I'll have to replace it I am sure, I am just curious because I
know several people have had trouble with this jack. It seems the life span
on them is only a couple of years or so, at least for those of us that have
the problem.
