Interesting thot. I wonder if the lack of side tone is partially responsible for many cell phone users to raise their voices. I don't recall hearing most folks talk so loudly into desk phones.

The higher the attenuation of your own voice back into your ear becomes, the more the brain tells you to raise your voice so you can hear yourself. The telephone people worked this out 100 years ago. </snip> David G3UNA _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
