Headphone balance

W4GRJ
The voulume on the headphones left is about 50% of the level on the right side. I have tried several different headphones to eliminate them as the problem.  Is there any way to balance out the level? I am using the rear phone jack.

You can set CONFIG: SUB AF to BALANCE and the SUB AF knob will balance
between left and right.

RE: [Elecraft] Headphone balance

W4GRJ

Just changed CONFIG: SUB AF to BALANCE, but I don’t think it is acting correctly. Now the sub af controls the volume of the left. Turning sub af full ccw it is at max volume but is still about 50% lower than the right. Turning sub af full cw it is at 0% volume. So, the sub af control is only changing the volume of the left side only.

Using the Sub for balance works fine for in or out of Diversity mode.

Hmmm... it works here by just tapping the SUB "on" and setting CONFIG:
SUB to Balanced. Inner knob (Main AF) controls the overall volume level
and outer knob (Sub AF) controls left-right balance.

Sorry, senility attack. CONFIG: SUB BALANCE allows you too use the SUB af gain control to
act as a balance control between the main and sub receivers, either in diversity or normal
mode.

What it does *not* do (and would be nice) is to work as a stereo balance control when the
sub receiver is turned off or not installed.

Swap the 'phones on your head. If still 50% down on the left the problem
is with your hearing, not the radio.

Similarly, try a different set of headphones.  It could be the
headphones themselves at fault.
