[Elecraft] K3 SSB

[Bill W5WVO]

Interesting. Virtually 99% of my SSB operating is done using an ear-sealing 
Heil Pro-Set headset, and I find headset SSB operation to be quite 
uncomfortable without transmit audio feedback. I set mine to where the sound 
of my own voice sounds approximately the same volume that it does when I'm 
talking without a headset on. I've also been thankful for it many times when a 
flaky connection in my mic line (or other transmit anomaly) has occurred.

Using it with speaker is another matter. If you use it at all, it needs to be 
very low-level. I have mine set to where it provides a comfortable level of 
monitor feedback in the phones but is really not noticeable on speaker.

Glad the K3 is implementing this feature.
