$10 extender cord w/volume control at Radio Shack nm
nm
If all you need is volume control, Radio Shack sm
Radio Shack sells an extender cord that has a volume control device in it for $10 or so.
I can't stand anything sticking into my ears, so I only use the "earmuff" style headphones. In fact, I just had to buy a pair because my old ones died, and using the ones my company supplied was killing my ears. I found a pair of JVC headphones that are DJ-style and have an in-line volume control on them. By plugging them into the audio jack on the front of my PC, it cut out the humming noise I got when plugging them into my speakers, and by covering my ears, they cut out all the extra noise from the house. I was shocked at how loud my keyboard was when I had to use the other headphones because these muffle it so much.
Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Radio Shack
They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB. Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc. I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.
You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them. many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel
radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,

I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..
Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!
Did you try Radio Shack????
They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.
i have found that radio shack has
several adapters to choose from to convert to a USB port. with each newer version of computers they seem to be cutting out the older types of ports (like used for older foot pedals/game ports, etc) and using "s" connections, usb, etc. the computer that I have from 1995 has different ports than the tower I bought last summer and my laptop that I bought last summer so I have to use an adapter and everything is fine.
radio shack; have bought several there nm

You might try a filter that you can get from Radio Shack.
It is probably just interference from something in your neighborhood, perhaps a ham operator or something like that?
Radio Shack in Portland, OR has them -- nm
Found them there
Radio Shack headphones
Yes, several people are recommending those Radio Shack Koss headphones (I am getting some emails too). It looks like those might be the ones to try!
Radio Shack carries them. nm

I use DVI too and got an adapter at Radio Shack
for about 17.00. You can check in-store stock on-line to see if a local store may have one.
Radio Shack has lots of different ones. nm

There are Sony ones at Radio Shack sm
that were suggested to me so I bought a pair. They are silver and look sort of like Spock ears when you have them on. I think they come with a year warranty or maybe I bought that for a few cents, can't remember now. I really like those.
Got mine at Radio Shack
I have bought them from Office Depot many times as well. My recent ones came from Radio Shack and are Presidian noise cancelling headphones. I love them.
I have a Radio Shack one that was on sale for about $79 but it usuallySM
is around $100 -- a portable one that I bought a power supply for.
I hear everything. Fires, fights, rapes, hostage situations (YES!), wrecks, stabbings, shootings, mean dogs - you name it. I sleep to it.
How lame is that? LOL. I will readily admit I have NO LIFE.
transcriptiongear.com might have it or even Radio Shack on line. nm

Bose Headphones/Radio Shack
I have definitely been considering ordering the Bose QC-3, but am a little hesitant because of their price. I did find better prices on E-Bay, but not sure you would get a warranty with those (some are new though). Also, since I do dictation via C-phone not sure they would work for that.
A few years ago I also had the noise canceling headphones from Radio Shack and used them off and on while working on-site, but found them to be very warm and a bit heavy...after a few years though they were not working well...and that is why I am looking at the Bose.
Also tried the Etymotic 6 earbuds, which were supposed to be so good. They are good, but I can't stand to have the earbuds in my ears for a very long period of time.
Let me know if you purchase the Bose...would like to hear your opinion.
If you go to messages from last week here there are a lot of good things said about the Bose QC earphones (both 2 and 3).
Yes, I had that happen. I went to Radio Shack, explained...
my circumstances and they sold me a filter that took care of the problem EXCEPT when the ham operator ramped up. IF you know where the tower is, these people should be reported - it's against federal guidelines to ramp up that heavily. I found the tower (down the street from me), called him in, and the feds they came a-knockin'. Funny - no more problems! Good luck!
I don't know about an adapter. Check Radio Shack as they
do have other types of adapters and may have something that will work for you.
Try Radio Shack. I buy my pedal adapters there. They might be able to help you. nm

Koss DC-10 and radio shack booster

Radio Shack does not appear to carry theirs anymore. This one on ebay might work similarly.

Ah, fun times at Radio Shack, BTDT.
Even if you explain the situation to them, they often won't get the deal about what ''gender'' plugs you need, heh.
BTW, didn't you originally say your foot pedal was USB? I'm really confused now, if what you ended up needing was a VGA splitter and not a USB hub because of your lack of USB ports?
Get a game port/USB adapter from Radio Shack - This will at
problem. I am sorry you are having trouble. I love my Dell, but use serial port (9-pin) for my work. Have used the game port adapter at a previous job without a problem though.
Stereo-to-Mono adapter at Radio Shack
Buy a little stereo-to-mono adapter at Radio Shack, well under $10. The earphones you are trying to use are stereo, and are picking up only one channel. I have bought earphones at Target and Radio Shack for years, and keep a couple of these little adaptors on hand in my office "junk drawer."
Take foot pedal to Radio Shack and tell 'em what you

I've purchased them at both Radio Shack and on Ebay. sm
If I remember correctly, they're called earbud cushions.
A variety of them can be purchased online here:

I just bought headphones from radio shack, on sale $19, t
they are the ear bud style but have this grey cushion that sticks into your ears. I haven't had a problem since I bought them. They also have a volume control which I love!

Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
cord
go online, just put in whatever cord, see what comes up, also, ebay, they have just about anything and everything.
You need an ethernet cord that will ..... SM
connect your 2nd computer into your router. I have mine done that way, and there's no problem at all. I told the salesman at Office Depot what I was doing, and he got me the cord and told me how to do it.
put the cord under the keyboard
I run my headphone cord from the computer, under the keyboard, under my wrist mat, and right up in front of me. It is totally out of the way. Maybe you can try that til you can get the wireless ones.
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
yep, control, control, control... that's the main

cord of wood, not cords.
4 cord of wood
cord biting kitty
I have a cat who has chewed through my foot pedal cord, and I had to go to the store and buy a cored protector to put over the original cord. I have black electrical tape on most of all my other computer-related cords. Finally, I purchased some stuff at the pet store called Indoor Bitter End. I cut the power to everything and carefully sprayed it on all my cords, obviously avoiding exposed wires, plugs, and outlets. I can say that she hasn't chewed on any of them since I sprayed them! I type in the basement and know that sometimes it's impossible to confine a cat or kitten and since they have a short attention span are not easily trainable. Maybe this will help.
Wow .. $149!! It says it was created for ipod users -- is the cord sm
long enough to go to your computer, or did you have to get some kind of extension device? They sound great ... just not sure if cheap ol' me is ready for fork out that kinda cash.

There can also be placental and cord abnormalities that impact things sm
I have transcribed a 2-vessel cord, though they should be 3 vessels. I have had velamentous cord where the Wharton's jelly didn't cover the cord structures up near the placenta which can be dangerous to the baby if the placenta is located in certain places. If it doesn't come on its own, it may be retained placenta (treated with D&C) or accreta meaning it has grown into the myometrium, necessitating a hysterectomy and fast so that the mother lives. You also have true knots in cords (my younger son had one) and you won't see that until the placenta is delivered.
There are 3 stages of childbirth. They are laboring, then active, which is pushing and then delivery of the placenta.
Not a silly question by any means. The placenta doesn't matter to most of us who have had kids, it is the only throw-away organ in humans. It is, however, important to the doctor.
