I don't know about the K1 but if you are going to replace the jack in your K2 you might consider wiring a separate headphone/speaker switch when you do so.
That's what I did with my K2. Now I can leave the headphones plugged in all the time and just switch the speaker on and off as I like. That is actually a lot more convenient than plugging and unplugging the headphones, which is a clumsy operation with these lightweight rigs. And of course it prevents further wear and tear on the delicate K2 jack. I mounted the switch on the back leftside panel in one of the unused transverter holes. If you want the details let me know and I'll try to find them. Basically you need to wire the switch between one of the jack terminals and its circuit board pad. 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 19 Mar 2014 20:02:46 -0500, you wrote: >My K2's speaker stopped working, headphones still work.
