Speaker Suggestions K3S

LDZ
Unless anyone knows how, it would be great to have selectivity between the rear panel headset audio and the speaker, internal or external.

Why?

When we are contesting we use headsets but when setting up you want to hear the audio without headsets on and sometimes, in the middle of the action, you want to share the audio with someone to clarify something without going round the back and unplugging the headset leads.

I am guessing that the rear phones and front phones are common so any one disconnects the speakers.  Would it be possible to link the front phones to the FP Mic selection, which seems sort of logical.  Then you could switch to the hand mic to demonstrate/share and then back to the headset with RP mic.

Just a suggestion!

Trevor,

Just turn SPKR+PHones on in the K3(K3S) menu.
In voice modes, you are likely to get audio feedback unless you turn the
MON to zero.

Check out the SPKR+PH setting in the menu. Turn on when you want to hear
the speakers. You can program a PF key to toggle that mode if you want.

Re: Speaker Suggestions K3S

Trevor,

Turn in the manual to the listing of menu items.  There you will find
what characteristics of the K3S (or any radio for that manner) can be
altered to suit your desires and operating practices.
While the default settings are OK, they are set for the "average" user
(if that really exists).  Each of us has our own preferences and the K3S
has a lot of things that can be altered for the individual and his/her
station requirements.

Those menu items are not typically used during normal operating, but
look at them as "setup" capabilities.  Once setup is complete, you
should not have to change those menu items frequently.

73,
Don W3FPR

Don has pointed out the SPKR + PHONES toggle. Many of us assign it to
one of the PF buttons, PF1 or PF2. I choose PF2, which is a "long push"
of XIT. The manual tells how to do that.
