[Elecraft] K2 Phone Jack

[Ralph Tyrrell]

Jim;
I had the same problem with my K1 (same part nr). I
just wired the speaker and in parallel with the phone
jack. Speaker is on all the time, When headphones are
in use the volume control gets turned down. This has
worked well for me. I did this about 2 years ago.
