[Elecraft] K3, headphones, and audio limiting??

[callen1155]

Hello folks.

I was operating yesterday with my K2 using headphones.  I really prefer
headphones for weak sigs and operating in general but on two occasions
yesterday my ears were blasted due to a strong nearby signal. I finally
resorted to an external speaker even though can't hear with that nearly as
well (I already have greatly impaired hearing).

So two questions:

1. Does the K3 have an 'audio limiter' that would prevent the above
situation and does it work well?


2. This weekend was really my first contest so how does one approach such an
event if you operate a rig (such as a K2) where in a flash the volume levels
can vary greatly? Do you take the chance and use the headphones? Frankly,
I'm very hesitant now to use the headphone with the K2 at any time.

thanks.
