Enough drama already. For $1.99 I bought the recommended Radio Shack P/N
274-0375 1/8" dual mono jack to 1/8" stereo Y-adapter. Now I can op my
stereo head set and play the current mono speaker w/o smoking the radio. It
does fit the I/O board with everything next to it occupied. 

I decided to go that route rather than making up a special purpose dual mono
cable > stereo plug. I have a second receiver and plan stereo speakers. Now
at will I can add a second unit and just plug it into the adapter. 

Or, just run one in Contests, DX, or at Field Day for bystanders. Speakers +
Phone = Yes and all work plus AFX. Press off on the speaker (IC SP 20) and
it's headset only.

For the price of the adapter, it or similar should come with the radio and
end this potential 'short and warning label' nonsense. Not everybody is like
me and lives a mile from a parts supplier, and new owners may not be aware
of the potential for damage until...
