I like the 1/4 jacks. They are more durable generally. It's no fun having to tear the whole radio apart to replace a worn out board-mounted jack. (Been there with the K2...)
You can get low-profile 1/4-to-1/8 adapters. I leave them plugged into my K3's key and headphone jacks so there is zero wear. 73, Drew AF2Z On Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:49:04 -0600, Barry Kutner, W2UP wrote: > I presume, historically, it was so there would be enough spacing to >prevent arcing for the 300VDC on the keying line, etc. Nowadays, most >headphones come with 1/8 inch plus, paddles/keyers are low voltage, etc. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
