@Kev - accommodating the pull tab, that makes sense. Instead of
modifying the case mold and inside electronics, UE just decided to
modify/make a new battery door mold and add connectors and wires. Must
have been cheaper overall.

To the original issue - I grabbed a radio with a battery and tried it
next to one that is on line power. With both (while playing) as you just
start to inset the headphone plug (1/4 of the way in), the sound cuts
out. That tells me they must be using a switched stereo phone jack:

36445

If the switch was dirty/stuck/defective you would expect it to behave
the same way for both speaker and headphone, right?

One thing I thought of, is the headphone output is stereo, and the
speaker output (assume) is mono, so the stereo signal must be present at
the headphone but mixed to mono on it's way to the speaker. Not sure
that contributes anything.

@M8G - if you were to open the case up, and you didn't mind, I am sure
you could bypass the headphone jack (either make it so headphones do not
shut off speakers, or headphones just don't work.

Too bad we don't have schematics. I know that @JoeMuc2009 fixes boom's,
maybe you could send him a PM to see if he has any thoughts
