[Elecraft] K3 Headphone Jack

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

While replacing the headphone jack might prove difficult, you may be 
able to form the contacts that disconnect the speaker a bit and get it 
working properly.
You will likely have to be able to decipher and follow the schematic to 
properly identify the correct contacts to properly accomplish that repair.
Removing the left side panel will give you access to the 'business' side 
of the headphone jack.

If I jiggle the headphone plug I get get the speaker to eventually go off.  I do have the K3 configured to disable the speaker with the head phone.
