[Elecraft] Front panel phone socket - K3

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Don and others,
Thanks for your reply as well as others replied to me off-the-list.
Since there will be a new DSP board later this year, perhaps,I would simply wait for the new one to replace the entire board.

Johnny,

I suspect some oxidation has formed on the contact areas inside the 
phone jack which are intended to connect/disconnect the speaker.
So yes, I would believe that changing the front panel phone jack will 
fix it.
