Not likely that any type of phono jack has to do with alc on that radio.
The alc, amp keying and grounds are all supposed to be in the 7 pin din.
The underside is the next good place to look. If you found a round jack
with the correct number of holes to match the pins on the plug, you are in
business.
The phono jacks are probably for a hand key and perhaps either a keyer or
external speaker.
If you want to key with the mic for tuning, use am or fm, or rtty mode if
available. ssb won't do it. There is probably a "send" button on the
front panel, both my 430 and 2000 have one. Put the rig in cw and hit the
send button to tx a steady carrier.
Good luck, Steve KW3A
