[Elecraft] rx audio output K2

In a quiet shack, listening to the speaker, mine runs about 9 to 10 o'clock
for plenty of audio, using the internal speaker. It's more in the range of 8
o'clock using the 'phones. That's assuming AGC is ON and the RF gain is full
up.

Of course, a noisy location will change things dramatically! 

Is yours the same for both speaker and phones? If it's only on speaker, do
you have the speaker wired correctly? If you reversed the leads to the
speaker itself it'll dramatically reduce the audio because the audio line
will be shorted through the case ground.

I was wondering what position most K2 users set their AF gain control for
comfortable listening.  My K2's AF gain must be set at about 1-2 o'clock to
be able to hear anything.  This is the same for internal as well as for
various external spkrs.  Most of my other radios need the gain only at about
9-10 o'clock for comfortable listening.

Thanks.
