[Elecraft] K3 headphone audio

[Dale Boresz]

Jerry,

Just a suggestion for headphone usage in general -- regardless of the 
equipment into which they are being plugged: Never plug headphones into 
any device, while they are in place over your ears. I use headphones 
extensively here, for both ham radio and general music listening, and I 
learned my lesson many years ago. I always plug them into the source 
device while they are resting on the table top or around my neck resting 
on my shoulders. If the source volume is way too loud, you'll find out 
well before it becomes startling/painful to your ears. None of this is 
probably news to you -- just a reminder ;-)

73, Dale
