[Elecraft] K3 Headphone audio.

[Rose]

As another poster has suggested ...

The situation may relate to the type / impedance of the speakers being
driven by the K3. In my case ... where there's no apparent imbalance ...
I'm using a set of COMspkrs from West Mountain Radio ... fine units,
BTW, and totally free of RFI, even when setting beside my THP KW.

73!
