[Elecraft] Second Try--Re: K3: CM500 vs. SB40

[Edward R Cole]

Kjeld,

I briefly mentioned that I have a "blue-tooth appliance" (without 
explanation what it does).

My hearing aids support blue-tooth connection which requires a 
separate remote (cost $450) that enables connecting to blue-tooth 
accessories:  my i-phone5, for example.  The remote provides mic for 
that connection.  With the remote came the "appliance" which has a 
3.5mm phone plug and works with any audio source (like a stereo or a 
ham radio).  Just plug the appliance into the headphone jack and you 
hear the audio via blue-tooth.  Hearing aid batteries last about two 
hours in use with blue-tooth vs lasting six days normal use.

To use the Phonak system would require buying new hearing aids 
(current pair cost me $5200 two years ago), so that is not going to happen.

To the rest of the reflector, my apology for the OT subject.

Regarding hearing aids you may be interested in a product that can send LF
from K3 directly to your hearing aids.
The Danish company Phonak are selling a device under the name of TVLink
which plugs into the line out, Scart, headphone or external speaker
connector and from it's console sends in stereo to your hearing aids.
I have been using this for about 6 years now and it is the best "headphones"
I have ever had! The price is about 3000 Danish kroner which is something
like 450 US $.
