[Elecraft] [K3] Assembly question

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

If the washer is loose, vibration can be created by the internal speaker.
Just squeeze the board up to the front panel and tighten the nut on the 
headphone jack - no rattle, no stress when the headphone plug is 
removed, !no problem!.  It seems some owners are overly concerned about 
a small amount of pressure on the board.  It is sufficiently flexible to 
withstand more stress than you can induce with your fingers and thumb.  
OTOH, if there is a large gap (more than a millimeter), you have some 
other problem - check to make sure the connectors are plugged correctly.

73,
