Thanks for the reply, guys. I know the cables are cheap - I just bought
replacements on Ebay $2.39 for 2, including shipping! Just a pain,
especially when it fails during a contest, like this one did during the IARU
last week.

IMHO, the trouble of

worth the cost of a replacement cable. I

Do not confuse the high quality cables and plugs used in studio patch
bays with the cheap crap we find in today's consumer
intermittent, but just very slightly oxidized.

With my K3, I use the 3.5mm headphone

In case the problem is caused by contact oxidation, removing the plug
and re-inserting it

My question - is it better to unplug the headphones from the extension cable
when not in use, ... Or, would repeatedly plugging/unplugging it cause more
fatigue in the connection over time?
