[ARC5] My military headphones....

OK. After further "research" it is looking as though my 'phones are either an 
HS-23 or an HS-33 set.

The red PL-354 is on the end of the short cord, and when I use them with my 
FT-890, I get considerably more volume out of them than with my other set 
of phones, which have some sort of ANB-*** type elements, which are, 
obviously, higher impedance.

Therefore, I am more inclined to believe these are the low-impedance 
HS-33s.

I'll measure the DC resistance later today to see what I have. According to 
Mike Hanz' site, they should measure 60 ohms, if they are the 600 ohm 
types. We'll see.

I also hope I am correct when I say that the pads I have been directed to by 
you folks, which are listed as fitting all mil phones, will fit these.

Thanks,

Ken W7EKB
