I wired a headhpone/speaker switch into my K2 when I replaced the headphone jack.. The switch is mounted on the back panel (in the unused XVTR hole).
I leave the headphones plugged in all the time and select between headphones and speaker with the switch, saving a lot of wear and tear on the new jack. This is also more convenient because you have to hold onto the K2 cabinet every time you unplug the phones; it's much nicer just reaching behind the rig and flicking the switch. I can send you a drawing/description of the switch wiring if you like. 73, Drew AF2Z On Fri, 11 Feb 2011 12:18:17 -0500, you wrote: >I think I finally might get to replacing my failed headphone jack this >weekend.
