I forgot to mention we're taking 10 K2's with us, so the Elecraft

   I want to thank everyone for this thread.  I'm going on the T33C trip
   later this year, and we're severely weight limited.  And in a multi-op
   DXpedition environment sound isolation can be mandatory since
   generators, 'phone ops and even some CW ops can be noisy. I've got
   several versions of sound-plug type earphone, including the Koss, but
   as far as I can tell the Koss with modifications are the best for me,
   and inexpensive enough so I can take a couple of sets.  Plug type
   headphones also can help with sore ears, a real annoyance after
   operating 12 hours a day for a week.

      Rick, 

      Try http://headwize2.powerpill.org/proj.  Otherwise a search for Koss the
      Plug will yield some sites.

      I just picked up a pair of the Koss Plug earphones last night.  While I do
      like them
      a lot, I'm also curios what to do when the original foam plugs wear out.
      Can you
      pass along the URL for the website you mention?

      TNX.
