Sub Rx listening option

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

Is there a way to swap which side the main rx and sub rx audio appears?

My setup has the main rx on the left and the sub on the right. For whatever reason I find it easier to dig stuff out of the noise with my right ear. Noticed this while hunting VP8ORK.

Just wondering...

Cheers,

Turn your headphones around.

Julius,

If using headphones I just turn the headphones
around.  The Heil's can be worn either way.  The only draw back is the microphone
swings out only in one direction, but for just listening, not a problem.

Thanks all who responded...

turning the phones around is an option, but not a very good one for the set in question.

Looks like a swap over connector would be the best option in my case.

This is more of a special case scenario, versus day to day or even contest work.

Cheers,

  Julius,

If it were mine, I would put a DPDT switch in line with the audio leads
so you can switch instantly between the two and see which is better for
any one time.

I think if you dig into the reflector archives you can find information
on how to control the routing of the K3 audio to each headphone/speaker
using direct DSP commands.  The information came from Lyle and others
and would be dated prior to the firmware release that added the
capability to the K3 menu.  The settings don't survive power down, but
if you only intended to use them in isolated instances that probably
wouldn't matter much and would save you the hassle of building a swap
over connector (admittedly not a big deal).
