[Elecraft] S meter interaction on K3

[Phil and Christina]

I still would like to be able to fix this.  The S meter jumps up as soon as
a plug goes into the headphone jack, whether a real set of headphones, a
grounded plug or an open plug.  As it is, with headphones plugged in, every
signal is S9 plus.  Any ideas?

73,

Phil, NS7P
