I have a pair of old (but pretty good for the day) Koss closed-back headphones, so I'll try those as you suggested. I wonder where the AF Detector Output (ACC pin 12) is in the overall circuit. I coul

Jim & Phillip, Thanks for the suggestions. I'm hoping I can just have one setup on everything except the TBW, and let the Narrow TBW setting give me the extra "punch" for DX'ing... Since I'm running t
