Hi
I have read the thread about the lack of volume in the K2 that some
chaps have reported, and personally I find it hard to imagine any problem
in that area.
During our last Field Day, we had a Tropical Cyclone running down us on the
East, and a deep depression to the West, and the wind and rain was of
Tropical proportions. To make matters worse our FD "shack" for 80m was a
metal sided horse float, and the din from the rain was extreme. I used my
K2 in that mix without headphones and had no problems at all.
Incidently.....I also notice reports on headphones to use with the K2 and
the associated answers on what to use.
While I have no argument with the headphones suggested, I used a bit of
"bush engineering" to make a set of headphones that work exceedingly well
with my K2 ( when required)
I bought a set of nice headphones from a local junk sale for a few cents,
and found one side was open cct. ( not surprising) I then cleared both
inserts out and put in two 8ohm speakers out of old computers,and wired
them in parallel. I certainly have no volume problems with those clamped on
my lugs...... The niceties of frequency response and whatever makes for
good listening went out the window the day I signed up to work in Telephone
exchanges in the 50's !!
Cheers......Ron ZL1TW
