Normally I'm a big fan of "communications" headphones and speakers, but
after taking my first stint at HF mobile (IC706 / Outbacker 500) using an
MFJ Cleartone speaker, I'm less than enamored. For SSB it seemed to have
very peaky response which worked fine on some voices and noticeably
poorly on others. I'm going to have to try another speaker to see if my
ears have finally cashed in or if it was tone was not-so-clear through
the MFJ. Ah, but that's the fun of ham radio, right?
