[Elecraft] k2 headphone jack

[drewko]

That jack gets a lot of wear for those of us who constantly switch
between headphones and speaker. I don't know if there's a better one
available but when I replaced mine I also wired a speaker/headphone
switch into the circuit. I mounted the switch on the back panel in the
unused XVTR OUT port rather than drill a new hole. 

So now I can leave the headphones plugged in all the time and just use
the switch to go between speaker and headphones. It is also a lot more
convenient than plugging and unplugging all the time-- just reach back
and toggle the switch.
