Chuck, AE4CW, posted: " Ron, I too had the headphone jack problem. After talking with tech support I reveisited the assembly and am certain it's perfect, but there is still a gap between the shoulder of the headphone jack and the front panel. I measured it with a shim guage but, unfortunately have forgotten the number. In any case I found a thin washer (from another 1/4" jack) that filled the gap perfectly and intalled it over the jack threads behind the panel. Perhaps there was as parts variation from the vendor that could account for the gap."
Chuck et al.... I had the exact same issue with the headphone jack and the "thick washer" used to space it from the front panel. Everything has been checked and double checked and the thick spacing washer still rattles between the board mounted headphone jack and the front panel. I posted my concern here months ago and received responses like Chuck did above. On the other hand, I received half a dozen direct emails from other K3 owners who experienced the loose spacing washer. All seemed to feel that their fitting of the front panel was correct in every other area. I think it's an issue other than a poorly fitted front panel or binding mic connector. My 2 cents.
