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, Mike K2MK quote author="Bill Clarke"> 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.
