[Elecraft] headphones in phone jack makes meter go up ...

[ussv dharma]

i HAVE had the same problem from day one....I am hesitant about digging into the k3 to hold the board while I try to tighten the phone jack.

Is the boat easy to get to?

Seems like a lot of people are reporting this problem.
