Another very well-regarded headset is the Direct Sound Extreme EX-29. They are often used in the sound studios for mixing. Specs say -29db isolation. Cost is $119.95 on EBay. 73, Dennis W0JX __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Hi Anndel I am not at home but as recall the gain setting I use its pretty low as the mic int the CM500 is quite sensitive. I recall for EQ I dropped the lowest down almost all the way and the next lowest just a bit down. A for compression I am about 10 but a bit more would be fine in a

Sam, When this topic was previously discussed I saw mention of Extreme Isolation EX 29 headphones which provide: 1) Good noise suppression (29 dB or nearly a factor of 1000 at 1000 Hz) so you can keep the volume down and not hear your station's fans or the TV in the next room. 2) Comfort

[Elecraft] K3, headphones, and audio limiting??

Hello folks. I was operating yesterday with my K2 using headphones. I really prefer headphones for weak sigs and operating in general but on two occasions yesterday my ears were blasted due to a strong nearby signal. I finally resorted to an external speaker even though can't hear with that

Hi, Yes, the K3 has an audio limiter, but more importantly it's AGC can be configured to virtually eliminate audio level differences once the signal is above the AGC threshold. Not everybody likes this, but it will prevent the experience you mention with the K2. AB2TC - Knut -- View this

Chuck, The K3 does have an audio limiter whose level can be adjusted - it can be present when the AGC is off, there is a menu item to control it. As far as the K2, try operating with AGC on, and the strong signals will be subdued. Due to the slope of the K2 AGC response, you can still
