Last Field Day, my K3 was used at the CW station. Two sets of headphones. One for the operator and one for the logger. One was plugged into the rear panel Phones jack and the other was plugged into the front panel jack. No problem, no splitter. Ok, if there were folks nearby who wanted to listen in, we would simply turn on SPKR+PHONES in the menu, and the speaker could also be heard.

Very versatile. Why make it complicated - the K3 gives us the tools to do it 'the easy way'.

I found that the level at headphone output, at least the rear panel one, was too low to drive two pairs of headphones in parallel in my setup, which includes some isolation transformers. The speaker output works fine with the headphones. (Don't try this with super sensitive low impedance headphones.) I just wired a switch to an external speaker.

Why use Line Out for speakers. There is a perfectly good jack marked Speakers right next to the Phones jack. Be sure and use a Stereo plug but it is for ........wait for it.  Speakers!
