[Elecraft] Low headphone audio level

[Pete Smith]

I have just gotten around to trying headphones with my new K3, and am 
surprised by how much audio gain is required for an adequate listening 
level with my old Heil BN-10 (?) headset.  I often find it at 2-3 
o'clock.  Is this normal?  Output from the internal speaker seems normal 
relative to the gain control - rarely requiring beyond 10 o'clock.

A tangentially related question - when I plug into the headphone jack, 
it appears that I have to push the phone plug into the jack quite firmly 
before the speak is cut off.  Again, normal?
