[Elecraft] Line Out Jack

[Don Wilhelm]

3.5mm and 1/8 inch are now the same thing - one place calls them 3.5mm 
while others use the 1/8 inch designation for the same thing.

Yes, it was not always so, but that was well before stereo plugs and 
jacks came into existence.
The big issue now is manufacturing tolerances that might mean some jack 
and plug combinations are tight while other combinations may appear to 
be sloppy.

1/4 inch plugs and jacks are more tolerant of sloppy tolerances i.e +/- 
0.01 mm compared to 3.5mm is much greater than +/- 0.01 mm compared to 7 
mm (or is it 8mm?).
