Audio controller/limiter

[Mark Simms]

Is there a way to limit the audio output on the K3s to prevent sudden loud
signals from causing hearing damage? This happens in CW contest operation
and I've adjusted the AGC to minimal threshold and slope without any
significant effect. Are there any other adjustments in the unit itself? Has
anyone used an external device between the K3s and headphones to accomplish
this? If so, what device was helpful?

See the description of the CONFIG:AF LIM menu option on page 57 of the K3S
manual.
