Just order you needs from Amazon today or tomorrow and have it by Friday. I ordered my Koss SB 40 headset/mike on Friday and it was delivered Monday. No expedited shipping either. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 6/20/2017 6:05 PM, Clay Autery wrote: Guessing there's a really good chance that we'll have

Actually, thanks. I have been looking for something like this for a while, and since they are available locally, it might be a good trip on my way to the FD site. Does anyone make a distribution / intercom box that allows the two ops to talk between themselves without removing their headphones?

Guessing there's a really good chance that we'll have one in 2018, too. Just add the tip to your list for next year prep Of course, you can likely get it to you from Amazon by Saturday... Amazon Prime is awesome... 73, __ Clay Autery, KY5G On 6/20/2017 4:31 PM, garyk9g

Your post talks about how handy it is to drive speakers and headphones. The K3 can do that, but not all radios can. If you want speakers and headphones, you need more than a headphone distribution amp. I wasn’t criticizing, just trying to help. The little DROK amp is quite handy. wunder K6WRU W

The Behringer can’t drive speakers, it wants at least 47 Ohms and puts out 124 mW per channel. If you want to power speakers, I recommend the $10 amp I use, it is 15 W per channel and runs from 12 V. The price varies, it is $8.50 today. https://smile.amazon.com/DROK-Component-Amplifier-TDA7297-1
