You might try tapping "1" when in CONFIG>SPKR+PH to display "PH.R SW-". That fixed mine so that when SPKR+PH was YES, plugging the phones in the REAR phone jack caused the external speakers to be muted. If the PH.R+ was selected, the speakers did NOT mute when the phones were plugged into the Rear Panel, but did mute when thephones were plugged into the Front Panel.

Same problem here Bill.  I never noticed this on my K3.  I sent an email to
Elecraft support.  I'll see what Elecraft support comes back with.  As you
mention, the output is not super low either... anyone in the room could
hear it.  Primarily on the left channel, but the output is on the right
channel too, just much lower.  We have the exact same issue, there is no
question about it.

This has only been a problem with my K3S, my K3 doesn't exhibit this
anomaly.

I frequently operate after wife goes to bed and I want the speakers OFF.
but the left one never really is OFF. Only much reduced output.

Bill, I was beginning to wonder if anyone would comment.  Thanks for
taking the time to reply.  The problem is real and it's not trivial.  This
morning I pulled out every connection on my K3s and even unconnected the
ground.  Nothing changes.  Even with the antenna not connected, you can
hear white noise, primarily out of the left channel.  The level on the
right channel is just not as pronounced.  Again, the CONFIG AF level is low
and if I turn up the AF gain even half way, I can hear receiver output.
Something is not right here.

Off to work for now, but I'll make a video of this tonight and post it.  I
still have a second K3 and if needs be, I'll hook it up to compare.

possible. BUT IT STILL DOES IT!

I just noticed that I have low audio output on my K3s rear speaker out
when
CONFIG->SPKR+PH is set to no.  I always chalked this up to being able to
hear audio from my headphones sitting on the left side of the desk here,
but I'm getting a low audio out of primarily the left speaker still when
spkr+ph is off.  I'm going out of the speaker output on the K3s KIO3B
into
some high end speakers, but I can duplicate the issue with a pair of
headphones too.  So it's not the amplified speakers picking something
stray
up.

The CONFIG AF GAIN is LO and when I switch between LO and HI, the output
gets louder with the SPKR+PH off.  The output is primarily on the left
channel too?  Scratching my head.  A bad relay on the KIO3B?  When I
switch
the SPKR+PH to ON, all is well for the left/right output on the output
and
of course the volume / AF level goes way up like it should.

By the way, I have SPKRS set to 2 as expected.  Hmmm... am I missing
something obvious here?  RTFM? :)
