K2 - no speaker audio but headphones work

[K4JQV]

Was using her last night and when I got up this morning the speaker was dead - on all bands of course. Plugged in the headphones and all is OK...she works as before. Is that a problem in the headphone jack I assume? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Jake,

It certainly sounds like your headphone jack has broken that little
plastic lever inside its package.
Unfortunately, there is not a higher quality replacement.  Elecraft has
tried to encourage the manufacturer to make it more reliable, but to no
avail.

The only 'proper' fix is to replace the jack.
You could short across the switch and make the speaker work, but it will
stay on when you insert the headphones (unless you put a plug in the
external speaker jack).  That may be a reasonable temporary fix if you
need the speaker.
