I apologize to Bill for sending this direct to him. I meant to send it to the group.
73, Tom - KQ5S Thanks Bill. I saw the quote below in Fred's, KE7X, K3s book which caused me some confusion. It seems as though he is saying if you use monaural headphones then you should not set the speakers to 2. I don't want to give up AFX or sub audio. "You may use a monaural headphone set in this jack (which would short the ring connection to ground) because the 8.2 resistors will protect the stereo headphone amplifiers. In this case, though, you should set CONFIG:SPKRS to 1 . You may use CONFIG:SPKR+PH YES to have audio in both the speaker output and the headphones.
