[Elecraft] k2 earphone jack

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] k2 earphone jack

When the jack on my K2 failed, after I replaced it, and not wanting to go 
through that again, I went with an external solution.  I plugged a short "Y" 
cord (from RS) into the external speaker jack and ran one extention off that 
on the underside of my operating desk to the front edge and "mounted" the 
female end in a hole I drilled.  That's where I plug my headphones.  No cord 
dangling across the desk.  The other end of the "Y" cord receives the cord 
from my external speaker.  To turn the speaker off I simply unplug the 
speaker.  The two cords are different colors so it is easy to tell which one 
to unplug.
