[Elecraft] Monitor Level Preference

[Bruce Meier]

I agree that the AF Gain and Monitor should be as they are, individually
controlled. In a recent issue of either QST or National Contest Journal
there was an article discussing the effect of contesting on your hearing.
One suggestion to minimize ear fatigue was to have your monitor level as low
as possible.  Why, well you are typically sending 50% of the time and during
that time you ears get a break. I have been following this suggestion since
then and, at least for me, it has been helpful.  I need the volume up higher
to pick signals out with heavy QRM and perhaps pile-ups, but when I am
sending I keep it at a level that I can just hear it.
