Hi Tom,

I have not had a problem with the external speaker jack on my 590.

Subject: Question On TS590 External Speaker Jack


Hi, all.

Recently, I have noticed that the external speaker jack on my TS590 does not
allow for a tight connection with the standard mini phono plug on the
external speaker that I like to use.

I have checked the connections on the speaker plug, and they are
electrically solid.

I also have tried several other speakers, and have gotten the same results.

It's almost like the jack mechanism that holds the plug is depressed too far
to allow for a tight fit.

If I connect the speaker and work with the plug to properly seat the
connection, everything works fine.

Obviously, I don't want to start messing with the jack and make things
worse, but I'm wondering if others have had this issue,and if so, how you
might have resolved it.

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
