K1 headphone jack

[Scotty Long]

Are there any headphone jack options/mods for the K1??? Not excited about putting another short lived switch in...

Mine as well and I usually just leave the headphones plugged in...

I don't know about options, but FWIW, it seems to be a problem with *some*
jacks. I still have the original headphone jack in my K2 (built in 2000) and
it has had a lot use.

However, I have always been careful to avoid putting excessive side forces
on the jack. I never use adapters stuck into the jack and I always used a
right-angle plug to minimize any side forces caused by tugging on the cable.

Mine went broke after some 6 years of use so I ordered a new one.
Still need to replace it...:-)
I have a dummy plug at hand to turn off the internal speaker of my K2,
the headphone jack connection is still ok, just the switch isn't.

So have I...time to fire up the iron and get some work done.

Cheers,
Peter

Yes it is not a big deal by any means as I use headphones about 100% anyway. Just nice for listening to rag chews while working in the shack.

The modular design make repairs and modifications easy. Elecraft had a new part out asap no questions asked.

Amazing how an easy "work-around" can take the pressure off of doing the
repair. I know that from lots of experience, Hi!
