FWIW: While visiting some antique stores with friends in Lincoln City
OR last week, I came upon a very pristine D104 for $85. It had the
"grab-switch" PTT with the slider for locking. About the only issue was
that the name plate on the top was a bit corroded or maybe very dirty.
I don't know if it was the amplified version or not. I also don't know
if $85 is a good price, however it did appear that the guy seemed to
have a rather high opinion of the value of his other stuff. I decided
not to make an offer because I couldn't figure out where I'd put it on
the operating desk and I use headfones and a boom mic anyway, but I was
tempted :-)
QUESTIONS: I'm about to order my K3, and I'm thinking of adding the
Heil headfones/mic to the order. War took out most of my hearing 40
years ago, and I need to run the AF gain close to "afterburner roar"
since my hearing aids don't work under the fones. I run my TS850 at
about 2 o'clock [maybe 1/8 of the top, pretty much at the distortion
point] My K2 is a little short on RX audio and I've got a little Radio
Shack amp that I use to fix that. Will the K3/Heil combination give me
enough RX audio?
I haven't heard much chatter about the audio equalizer in the K3. Has
anyone experimented with it? Does it work for both RX and TX audio? Is
it a standard feature of the base K3?
