Scotty,

If you jumper the switch terminals as Gary suggested, you will have 
speaker all the time.
Put a switch in series with that jumper wire and you have a speaker 
on/off switch.
On the K2 there is an easy method to do that, just plug an unwired 3.5mm 
plug into the external speaker jack.  The K1 does not have an external 
speaker provision, so you will have to be more 'creative' about the switch.
If your K1 has the internal battery option *and* you do not use that 
option, the battery on/off switch can be re-purposed for the speaker 
switch - or add your own ideas for a switch location.
