[Elecraft] RE: More Audio OUTPUT please: The ongoing saga...

Yeah! I run ST-L at 12 on the phones too and it's plenty loud. 

That's a strong sign that the problem for at least some K2's is in the
audio amplifier circuit and not earlier in the receiver. Trying to make
up for low audio by boosting gain up in the preamplifier or other RF
stages in the receiver is sure to degrade the overall performance. The
dynamic range, at least, will be compromised.

40 ! Wow 

With #0069 I use STL of 12 when I use headphone, 40
would make my ears bleed.
