[Elecraft] KX1 - very quiet on 30m and 20m

[Bill Johnson]

Ditto, Look at sensitivity ratings before you select your pair for the KX1.
I tried Shure e5's which are studio quality,  had to crank the volume way
down!!!

Although it's probably not relevant to your solution, I just wanted to echo
Don's comment on headphone sensitivity. I've owned a lot of electronics over
the years, and the KX1 definitely wants more sensitive headphones than any
of them. For instance, I have a pair of Delta Airlines earbuds that
basically don't work at all, but my Bose Quietcomfort noise cancelling
phones SCREAM when connected to the rig. It's a pretty low signal coming out
of the jack, but with the right phones, it sounds wonderful.
