Re: [Elecraft] tip of 3.5 mm plug remains in key jack

I had to do this, too, on my KX3. I had to open it up and use a lockpick to push the broken tip out from the back of the jack. I'm just glad it wasn't the type with a plastic box around the action, or it would have been a lot harder. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P On Fri, Jan 15, 2021 at 1:15

I had this happen with a neighbors daughters laptop. I was able to get a small diameter drill bit like is used for drilling pcb holes and using a pin vise put a few twists of the bit into the broken part of the connector. Then I gently pulled it out. Chris KD4PBJ > On Jan 15, 2021, at 11:54

I signed up to the Elecraft mail reflector yesterday , I've not used the reflector for the past 3.5 years . My question , is this the place to ask question about the KPA-1500 and other Elecraft products ? Is their a specific place for questions on the KPA-1500? Maybe an IO Group ? Tnx Ed N5DG
