I'd believe it! I've gotten weird noise artifacts before that were actually
"the monitor level is so low that the DAC is running out of bits". Mine
showed up most obviously as harmonics in the sidetone. Try adjusting the
monitor level in CW mode and see if you hear your issue at the lowest

A couple thoughts and questions:
Are you hearing the "RF?" in the headphones?
If so you may want to increase your MONITOR Level. I have heard what I
thought was RF in my headphones. On the air reports were good audio no
RF. I believe the real issue was that a LOW Monitor level setting
These are K9YC’s settings along with a procedure for setting compression level.

people
shared their TX EQ settings. A few were out in left field, but most were very
similar
to this.

Some pretty bold generalizations except for pricing maybe and Heil’s industry
associations.
I dislike my CM500’s. They are uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of
time. I do have RFI issues with them when running full power on HF SSB.
I have an older Heil headset - not sure which

Rich,
I have never had an APP connector break - but:
I think you will have to take the back cover off. Part of the APP
connector is inside the K3.
You may be able to salvage the contact blade (be certain it is seated
all the way), but if you cannot, I recommend you download the assembly
That happened to me with the Koss SB-45. The ear cups are smaller than those on
the CM500, so they sat on my ears instead of around them. Really uncomfortable.

I use mostly Heil Headsets for a long time. My latest with the FTDX101MP is
Heil RED Pro 7 (with red contest cartridge) .
Right after the TRX audio output and mike input I always have a Ferrite N30 7
windings on each shielded cable.
The monitor (listening to SDRs e.g.) plug/shielded cable is

[K3} - K3 Powerpole
The positive (red) Powerpole plastic on my K3 broke while pushing it back on
my desk.
Has anyone replaced the plastic covers without taking the K3 apart? If so I
would like a plan of attack on fixing the Powerpole. Or, do I need to take
the back of partially, wholly, etc.

No. What matters most are sound quality and operating

That's a GREAT reason for not liking them. And comfort in headsets is a
very individual thing -- all of us a built a bit differently. I had that
