If I may chime in here, I hope very strongly that nobody is using deep- in-the-ear type earbuds with the K3 or any other radio. TO DO SO MIGHT RUIN YOUR EARS.
I have some Shure deep-in-the-ear earbuds that I use with my iPod on airplane flights. They have wonderful fidelity and also almost completely shut out the roar of the jet engines. BUT, they take about ten seconds minimum to get out of my ears. If some radio produced an anomalously loud blast while using them, your ears could be ruined before you could react. I read an article a while back about an engineer who lost his hearing in just such an accident. In the old days, many soundcard manufacturers installed their soundcards with a default of full volume. This guy was trying a new soundcard using deep-in-the-ear earbuds. By the time he could get them out of his ears, he had permanent damage. 73, Oliver Johns W6ODJ On 25 Sep 2009, at 12:07 AM, Enno J.
