Just substitute the fixed 300-1200 ohm resistor with a 300 ohm fixed resistor
an 0-1K variable resistor.

I guess I explained the whole thing badly right from the start! I
didn't really care if I listened to the audio through a soup can, as
long as I had better control over the audio level hi! The way it comes
through the AF control of the 746 is either off or too loud. The
choice of speaker
Put an 8 ohm resistor in place of the speaker. Then across the 8 ohm speaker
place a 600 ohm resistor in searies with a small 2 speaker. You can vary the
series resistor from about 300-1200 ohms to adjust the volumn. The series
resistor won't bother the 8 ohm speaker output too much.
Thanks, Walt! I'm sure that would work, but it would leave me with a
non-adjustable volume, and I do want to be able to adjust it up when it's
not annoying to the XYL. I'm going to try a pair of computer speakers
tonight when I get home. I'm hoping the volume control on them will make
up for the

That was my original thought, although I couldn't remember the term
L-pad. Using computer speakers was suggested, and since I had a pair
sitting around, I gave them a try this afternoon. Solved the problem
completely! Now I have _much_ better control of the volume, and the
audio even

You can do that. You can also do what I do, for the same reason- get a
cheap pair of earphones with a volumn control built into the cord.

I'm trying to avoid the headphones. I have a real good pair, but
like to sit with the radio on at length in case something interesting
shows up. Usually have the TV on in the background, thus the need to
adjust the radio downward.
yep, I want to have my cake and eat it, too hi hi!
I guess I'm sort of missing something in the translation here. I'm using an
IC-746 here
and using the computer's Sound Blaster w/stereo speakers to listen with.

controlled by the speakers volume control. Works slick and sounds great.

I tried to be brief, but left out some detail. I'm set up with a
dual soundcard system. One card is dedicated to I/O for the rig, and the
other is dedicated to all other sounds, such as DX spotting, Windows
messages, and so on, which is sent to the speakers. I have the rig audio
separate so
,Maybe a computer speaker with a volume control?
