[Elecraft] UK source for K3 headphone socket (was: Elecraft Digest, Vol 76, Issue 42)

[Jim Brown]

I can't help with identifying distribution channels, but Neutrik, an 
excellent connector manufacturer based in Liechtenstein, makes both male and 
female cable-mount 1/8-inch connectors of decent quality that can be 
purchased through audio distributors in the US. Perhaps there is something 
comparable in the UK. If you were in the US, I would send you to a Full 
Compass, a vendor in Madison, WI who I buy from via the internet. It's a 
family-owned company, and I know the family -- I used to compete with them 
many years ago when I sold pro audio to broadcasters. :) 

Neutrik and Switchcraft are the major manufacturers of high quality audio 
connectors in the world. They also make parts to mount on printed circuit 
boards. 

See the section on audio in my RFI tutorial for Neutrik part numbers. They're 
also near the end of the Power Point pdf on Ham Interfacing.
