Dave,
That is one failure mode of the headphone jack in the K2. There is a
little switch in the rear of the headphone jack that turns the speaker
on and off. The plastic operating arm for the switch has broken (inside
the jack).
The only way to fix it is to replace the headphone jack.
You can find instructions for doing that at
https://www.qsl.net/wy3a/Replace_K2_Headphone_Jack.htm
The headphone jack is Elecraft p/n E620028. Either call sales at
831-763-4211 to order and pay for it or email [email protected] to
obtain the price and order on-line using the Quick Order form.
73,

I have a K2 built by another ham and am getting used to it. I I recently
discovered that when I plug my headphones into the headphone jack on the front
the speaker still is active as before. The only way I can disable the speaker
is to insert another plug into the speaker jack on the back. Is this the way
this radio is supposed to operate or is there a wiring error somewhere? I have
looked through the K2 manual and find nothing about the headphone jack except
that it is for plugging in the headphones.
Thank you.
