[Elecraft] [K3] Line in / out socket failure

[Monty Shultes]

Julian -
I have been having this problem for several months.  I must disconnect my K3 
often due to frequent thunder storms here in Florida.

I find that using the cables going to the two DIN plugs as supports has 
helped.  I haven't yet tied the 4 cables together with tie-wraps, but will 
do so when my troubles escalate further.

The jacks look like common stuff and ought be available in the UK.
