[TenTec] Headphones and QRN

[Jim WA9YSD]

Proven to be the best win the West are Heil Quit Phones or Bose QC-2 or QC-15 .

They life a CW signal out of the mud.  It bit more when normally you know there 
is a tone and cannot tell what it is, they clear it up becasue in he way they 
are designed.  SSB seams to be enhanced a bit as well.

Heil has a heavier duty cord appear to be a bit more rugged.  Bose has a high 
low switch to give more volume when your connected to an IPod.

Big investment but worth it.

Some  one from Heil had told me that they use the most recent circuitry  for 
the Heil Quit Phones.  This same company that makes the circuitry for the  Heil 
Quit Phones are used in Bose, and that there are only 4 companies that uses the 
head phones boards.  Now who makes those boards is a mystery for now.


I went to various stores with a 12 foot long headphone extension cord and tried 
various head phones while listening to a boarder line CW signal that was 
recored. 
I played it on an iPod.  Talking about getting serious about headphones.

 
Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith.  Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
