[Elecraft] K3 - Mono or stereo speaker

[dmoes at nexicom.net]

Actually.  If the speaker is set to one it will still send signal to the ring connection. Just mono.   Even if there is nothing going to the ring.  By using a mono plug that will short ring to sleve.  Just with the power on thump you could create a problem.  Change the connector. Leave the ring open.

If, and only if you have Speakers set to "1", you can use a mono plug.  DONOT set speakers to "2" with it inserted however.  Smoke will escape and you will be faced with a repair.

My rule is: NEVER plug a mono plug in the Speaker jack, EVER!
