I have plugged a set of mono phones into that jack on a couple of

radio did not blow up or smoke.  In response to a previous post on
this question, someone checked and verified that there are 100 ohm
resistors in series with each lead

On the other hand, I'm not going to be the one to put a set of mono
phones in that jack and let it cook over night, either.


Thanks -- I'm new to this reflector and wasn't aware of the previous thread. The series resistors are exactly what Kenwood uses, and I think my Mark 5 does the same. Glad to see they made this a little foolproof at least.
