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.
If it was a really old D-104 with the ceramic element, you may have made
a wise decision. The elements were physically fragile and I would not
buy one without testing it.
Will the K3/Heil combination give me
enough RX audio?
I'm using one and I have the audio gain range set to low. The Heil
headset seems relatively insensitive, but I have not found a problem. My
hearing is not so great (I'm old) but not damaged. The K3 high range is
significantly greater than the K2 so it should be enough.
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?
Yes there is a separate equalizer for rx and tx. I used the tx equalizer
to sharpen up SSB audio a bit, and reports were good, but I don't use
SSB much. I have the rx equalizer set just to give me a little mid-range
gain for CW. Each equalizer has 8 frequency bands, and is pretty flexible.
