Re: [Elecraft] Any solution to the audio blast issue yet ?

A peak limiter combined with a fast short or open circuit is the only way to prevent ear damage. I've listened to earphones protected by vdr and, although the peak voltage delivered to the headset is limited, the waveform simply flattens off and the audio power pulse is still deafening. This

Hi Gary, I think Enno was making his remarks here on the Elecraft reflector because of an earlier remark that *I* made on a Dutch K3 email list, and that he was referring to the audio blast that *I* encountered. I was in a CW QSO on 20 meters at the moment the audio blast occurred. I probably
