[Elecraft] K2 Headphone Recommendations

[vze3v8dt at verizon.net]

Geoffrey,

Your comments pretty well mimic mine I made privately to Kevin as well.  However, I found that I had to increase the mic gain on the K2 slightly by changing R14 on the SSB module to 10K (from 1k originally) and now my K2 works great with my Heil headset.  Did yours work as is without the mod?  I've suggested this mod to others as well and they found that it works well for them as well.  I can't take credit for the mod itself as I found it here on the reflector quite some time ago, I just passed along what worked for me.  

73,

Mark, NK8Q
