[Elecraft] k2 headphone jack

[Dickinson, Joe]

One of the things I plan on doing is getting a simple 4 output headphone amp from ART ($65).
Plug one or 2 pairs of headphones in, and output another to my computer, and another to a real amplifier/speaker setup.

That way I never have to unplug the set to have an output to my computer for Data or voice.

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.
