That looks interesting, Ken. I had not seen such a tool before. I’ll dig
deeper and see if they make a version for 6.3mm plugs too.

I had this problem before but I can't seem to find it in my log on how
I did the repair. The K2 works just fine and all of the buttons work
as they should with the exception of the MENU/EDIT button. It either
does nothing at all or it causes the LCD display to go blank and the
radio stops
When my KPA500 needed repair I was told there was a group that repaired
KPA500's alone. My turnaround was just under a month door to door. So
different wait times for different gear sounds likely.

My KX3 took a 3 month sabbatical to the mothership the first of this year.
Communication was great, problem isolated over the phone in two calls, part was
available but I was advised that most Elecraft customers “prefer to have
Elecraft do those repairs” and that was all the encouragement I
That poster must be mistaken. I reported an issue with my KPA500 on Monday and
got an RSA for it the next day.

I had an issue that needed looked at about two-ish months ago. I was in the
que. They just called me today to authorize RSA. Luckily I figured out the
solution myself prior. That's my experience. Wish it was faster but for
whatever reason it's not.

On the Elecraft groups IO list, someone posted a note that it would be 3
to 4 months before Elecraft could even issue an RSA...
That sounds very odd to me, as Elecraft has always been faster than that.

I helped a neighbor remove a broken headphone connector from her daughter's
iMac laptop.
I used a pin vise and a tiny drill bit like I use for drilling holes in PC
board. I drilled by hand into the broken connector barrel using the pin vise
and slowly worked the broken plug body out.

How about this tool? I've used smaller versions to remove pins in connetors.

I would expect quite a range in repair times based on parts availability --
has anyone who *hasn't* had a quick turnaround heard if that's why?

I have suffered the very same failure but on my K3. Despite extensive attempts
on my part, removing the dislodged tip has proven futile and it appears that
the female jack will need to be replaced. Removing it might help but it’s just
too finicky for me.
