[Elecraft] K3 Headphone Jack

[Jim N7US]

I leave my headphones plugged into the rear jack and turn the speakers on
and off with a macro (actually a "user-defined sequence" in DXLab's
Commander), so no wear and tear on the jack.

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.

plug in my headphone sometimes there is an attenuated signal also coming out
of my external speaker.  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.
