And furthermore, it would be different for every difference impedance
headset. The only way Ten-Tec could make this work to everybody's
satisfaction would be to have two separate audio power amplifiers, one
for speaker and one for headphones, with separately adjustable soft pots
for each. Or a logic input from auxiliary switch contacts on the head
phone jack could make the control system switch between two audio gain
settings.
At my station, which does not include an Orion, I run the external
speaker output to a passive distribution system, which allows multiple
headphones and a speaker to be plugged in. Each has it's own volume
control. I prefer this because I like the speaker to continue to work
when the headphones are plugged in. I take it with me to field day, and
it make for a much more interesting station for spectators. The
operator(s) need headphones, and if they were plugged into the headphone
jack, spectators would hear none of the excitement on the band.
