[TenTec] 565 Low level audio on headphones

[Richards]

Er...so, what DO the engineers at TT say about this?   Have you asked 
them?

I know loads of guys who swear by the CM500 on the Orion and Orion II
and other TT rigs.  If you suffer low receiver volume, I suspect 
something is fundamentally wrong with the radio.   Jim Brown is a big 
fan of the CM500 - and he is serious about audio.  If it did not perform 
well, he would have said so.

I suspect there is something fundamentally wrong with the rig, and 
adding a band aid resistor is not an appropriate remedy - it might cover 
for a larger problem, but I doubt that is the best course.

Trust your instincts...  discover the real problem.   When this happens 
to me, I ask the local rabble for help in diagnosing it - and they have 
always helped me find the real root problem, bless their pea-picking 
hearts !

	Just my take.
