Hi Pete, I have the same problem with the Heil Proset that I purchased from Elecraft. I also have a Sennheiser HD280 Pro which has a higher output but is not as comfortable as the Proset.
I personally think the headphone AF output should be higher. (Yes I have the config on HI). Admittedly my hearing is not as good as it used to be. If you want to see how it could sound enter this code several times in the K3 Utility under the Command Tester tab. !66; Each time you enter it the headphone level will increase slightly. But this change is not remembered through a power cycle. I've asked for this to become a config choice on this reflector and in direct e-mails to Lyle and Wayne. (Wayne as recently as 5/18 but no response). I guess I'm the only one requesting it. To solve the problem I plug the headphones into the rear speaker jack. It solves the problem but if I want to use the internal speaker I have to pull the plug out. If you do this be sure to set CONFIG:SPKRS to 2 for stereo. 73, Mike K2MK Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: > > I have just gotten around to trying headphones with my new K3, and am > surprised by how much audio gain is required for an adequate listening > level with my old Heil BN-10 (?) headset.
