I would wait until you get your K3 before doing anything. I'm not

Folks, Bill is right, wait until the rig is in your shack before making
any decisions. The K-rigs will work with a variety of headphones. You
get to decide, after all, they are your ears. I started this thread ...
"It seemed like a good idea at the time." One of these days I will
learn :-) None of my 3 "K-rigs" [KX1, K2, K3] has enough audio *for
me*." I'm nearly deaf and have been since one night 40 years ago on the
other side of the planet. I did not mean to imply:
That the audio is low for everyone
That Heil headsets don't work good with K3's [I love my Proset K2 on
K2 and K3]
I use an external AF amplifier I got at Radio Shack since I know not
everyone has my difficulty. Radio Shack does not build great AF
amplifiers unfortunately, and I'm going to replace it as soon as I
figure out how.
The really great solution would be to be able to use the incredible
hearing aids the VA has given me as headphones with my radios. They are
full of DSP and compensate for my hearing loss, I know where the socket
is on them, and I know the cables and plugs exist, they use them when
they re-program the little guys. If anyone wanted to invent them, I'd
be a beta tester and first customer!
Hope to see everyone in the NAQP RTTY this Saturday, I'll be on my
K2/100, haven't explored data modes with the K3 yet and I know how to
make the K2 work.
