[Elecraft] K1 headphone jack

[kg9hfrank at gmail.com]

Have seen that before but….. usually ’someone’ before me had some sort of 6” adapters coming out of the panel to go to their speaker cord, and the length just stressed the jack too much.
On the ones that I built I have never seen that issue.  I like the KX3 right angle approach for all the cables coming out of the radio…. And… no adapters!

I have the replacement jack to install now and I have a question about this. Is the replacement jack the same or is this an improved version?  I use headphones only to copy CW  but would like to listen as I work on projects. It is a lot of trouble to swap the onboard jack that would just fail again in time. I would rather not risk any damage to the K1s board at this time if the repair isn't a permanent solution.
