[Boatanchors] [Glowbugs] Want to use stereo headphones w/mono audio output

[Howie WA3MCK]

Stu K5KVH Pete WA2WCA Phil KO6BB Brian KA9EGW Ken WA2LBI and others...

That's what I wanted!
I'm quite familiar with shorting the tip and ring... that's easy, but, I
wanted a balanced approach.
I remember reading about this little resistive audio splitter network years
ago.
Brian and Ken offered unique information  - very cool - thanks to all !
