[Elecraft] Flaky mic jack on KX3

[Lyn Norstad]

You could try to replace the jack yourself.  It's an uncommon size (TRRS), but Philmore #70-088 should work:

The mic jack on my KX3 is not making good contact with my MH3. I need to push the plug in an extra bit, then feel a small click, then PTT works. If I move the cable at all, it backs out past that click and the PTT switch doesn’t make the rig transmit. The same thing happens with other plugs.

This is a fairly early model, serial number 29xx.

Any ideas other than sending it in for repair?
