In the top cover for my K2 S/N/ 7809, the external speaker hole is way too
small for the jack to pass through. Is it the design intent of the K2 that this jack be screwed in? Or should it pass through without forcing it? Or does it matter? Thanks.

Mark,
The jack *should* fit through the hole, but I also know that it does not with the jack supplied. So ream out the hole in the top cover. I use a thin bladed knife, but a drill bit or a proper reamer will work. You only have to take a little metal from the inside of the hole. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/19/2018 11:00 AM, Mark Petrovic wrote: > In the top cover for my K2 S/N/ 7809, the external speaker hole is way too > small for the jack to pass through.

Thanks, Don. Yes, I found I had to ream the existing hole *very* little,
maybe one or two 1/100 of an inch, for the jack to pass through without forcing it. The difference did not feel like extra paint; it felt like the hole was in fact just a bit too small.

Mark,
Yes, the hole is just a bit too small - it must be reamed slightly. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/20/2018 12:05 PM, Mark Petrovic wrote: > Thanks, Don.
