[Elecraft] Blue Tooth - Freq. response

[Edward R. Cole]

Slightly off the subject (Blue Tooth), but I wear Phonak Savia OTE 
hearing aids and they have a high-fidelity program selection.  This 
is for flat freq. response up to 22-KHz for music and television 
listening.  I definitely can tell the improvement even with > 30dB 
hearing degradation and loss above 800-Hz.

Ten years ago I agonized over whether to spend money on a nice 
home-theater system or whether my hearing was too bad to enjoy it.  I 
am forever glad that I got the system as ordinary TV speakers are 
nearly useless for me.  Of course I use captioning all the time for speech.

One of the nice aspects of the k3 is that audio can be taylored to 
one's hearing preferences.

BTW I just installed an upgraded soundcard (emu-0202) in my computer 
and it really sounds nicer.  It was not my primary reason to get the 
soundcard (LP-Pan baseband processing is primary).

No, Tom, they are NOT audio loop devices, but true bluetooth, and only
work with modern bluetooth hearing aids. And I am not sure what sort of
HiFi you expect, but if you have a hearing aid it is probably academic.

All in English. Confusingly they call it the iCom, which is nothing to
do with the other company...
