[Elecraft] [K3] Hearing aids, meet K3

[Walter Underwood]

I was thinking about coupling to the T-coil, too.

It looks like there are a number of telecoil-compatible headsets. These are just a few hits from searches for "headset t-coil" and "headset telecoil".

> Most of the recent Hearing Aids have something called T Coil or similar feature.  Very popular in Europe where folks gather like churches, etc. its essentially an inductive pickup.   The idea being a wire loop is run around the room parameter and a few watts of audio is pumped through it.  Any hearing aid with T Coil inside the loop will pickup the audio by induction.
