Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini plug/jack mis-contact
Aki, There should be no difference in the various mini-plugs as long as they are the 3.5mm type. If you are using a 2.5mm, it might work for a while, but will be loose in the jack and will not make good contact. If you do have a 3.5mm plug and it is loosing contact, check to be certain the jacks protrude through the rear panel sufficiently. If the KIO3 module is not properly seated, the jacks will be recessed and will cause the problem you seem to be having. 73, Don W3FPR a.yoshida wrote: I sometimes find that mini plug/jack on the back panel makes mis-contact.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mini plug/jack mis-contact
I am having some of the usual dirty contact issues with the 3.5 mm plugsreaching back and twisting the plug in the socket restores normal operation. I've seen this (as I a msure everyone else has) on lots of plugs with nickel (?) plating since that became the rage. Makes me long for the days of silver-plated everything..oh well.
