[Elecraft] Sidetone volume

[Fred Bennett N9TA]

   Hi Gang

My wife often invades my shack to watch TV while my son plays Xbox on the TV
in the living room. I plug in my headphones while she is watching TV so that
the noise won't bother her...(and the noise from the TV won't bother
ME)...But when she's gone I unplug the headphones and use an external
speaker. I have noticed a VAST difference in the sidetone volume between
headphones and speaker. I must turn DOWN the volume a BUNCH when using the
headphones....but then when using the external speaker the sidetone is
almost completely silent. I adjust the volume for comfortable listening
levels with both the headphones and the speaker...but the sidetone volume
seems to change between the two.

     Is there a cure for the difference in sidetone levels??
