[TenTec] Hiss and click on Orion sidetone

[Carl Moreschi]

It sounds like your headphones are 8 ohms.  I suggest either adding a 100
ohm pad in series with each headphone or get 32 ohm headphones.  The 100 ohm
resistors can added right in the headphone jack.  Just get 2 1/4 watt 100
ohm resistors, and put each  on in series with the non-grounded side wire
going to each headphone.
