Headphone issue

[Elecraft mailing list]

I have a K2 built by another ham and am getting used to it.  I I recently discovered that when I plug my headphones into the headphone jack on the front the speaker still is active as before.  The only way I can disable the speaker is to insert another plug into the speaker jack on the back. Is this the way this radio is supposed to operate or is there a wiring error somewhere?  I have looked through the K2 manual and find nothing about the headphone jack except that it is for plugging in the headphones.  
Thank you.

Dave,

That is one failure mode of the headphone jack in the K2.  There is a
little switch in the rear of the headphone jack that turns the speaker
on and off.  The plastic operating arm for the switch has broken (inside
the jack).

The only way to fix it is to replace the headphone jack.
You can find instructions for doing that at
https://www.qsl.net/wy3a/Replace_K2_Headphone_Jack.htm

The headphone jack is Elecraft p/n E620028.  Either call sales at
831-763-4211 to order and pay for it or email [hidden email] to
obtain the price and order on-line using the Quick Order form.
