You have probably experienced a common failure in the front panel phone plug. Order a new jack from Elecraft and replace the broken one. It's a small plastic part that slides back and forth to engage the headphone or speaker. it splits in half and cannot be returned to closed when the headphone is removed. I bought two, just in case, but I think they have the problem fixed. Some 1/8" jacks that are sold in stores is inferior, although stronger. The use a pressure contact that will get noisy or fail at the contact. The Elecraft supplied jack is a positive contact slide switch, but a batch was flawed. Go real easy on the soldering heat when you install - "just in case".
