[Elecraft] K3 - audio balance and "hiss"

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Bill,

I have a weak ear and use a Behringer AMP800 between my K3 and my CM500
headphones. Works great. Around $70 on Amazon.

73,

I have a problem with a weak ear. To circumvent this, I use a Behringer 
mixer panel, allowing me to control the gain for each ear. The panel 
also allows additional audio control to tinker with. The output can go 
to a jack for phones, or to my Behringer speakers - the latter for room 
filling armchair copy.

Having the flexibility of the RX Equalizer and AGC settings, the K3 can 
be the perfect receiver for nearly everyone. It is all in the settings. 
All the user has to do is invest some time in experimenting.

Just for grins: On 75 meters at 9 AM today, my background noise level is 
below S1, no ATTenuator or PREamp in use. There is a very minimal hiss 
when tuned to an unused frequency. Signals really leap out at you. It 
doesn't get better than this.
