[Elecraft] K3: Headphone Jack hardware?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Hi Martin - My K3 is on its second headphone jack, due to symptoms like 
yours.  Recently it started doing this again, but I was inside the radio 
for another issue and reseated some boards (including KIO3 if I remember 
correctly) and it stopped happening.  You might look into that before 
you replace hardware.
