[Elecraft] K3 SPEAKER

[Don Beattie]

I apologise if this has been asked before, but I have a newly developed
problem with my K3.

 

In short, the speaker does not activate when the headphones are removed from
the front socket. I have tried both options under the speaker and phones
menu item. When "both" is selected, the speaker works fine with the phones
plugged in. But I want the facility to silence the speaker when using
phones, so I want to be able to select the other option, meaning that the
speaker only activates when the phones are unplugged. Selecting that option
does not activate the speaker when the phones are unplugged.

 

This is a new problem, and I can't understand why it's suddenly arisen. My
logic is that the 3.5mm jack socket on the rear of the rig (or the main one
on the front) is giving a false positive that the phones are plugged in,
when in fact they are not, thus disabling the speaker.

 

But before I start taking the hardware to bits, is there anything else I
have overlooked? I might add that I am running the latest firmware etc etc.
