[Elecraft] Monitor Level Preference

[Steef PA2A]

Brett,

I agree with you that the possibility could be in the menu. For me, it is
not necessary because I listen mostly on headphones. But as you say, using
the rig in loud circumstances with people around our K3 's, the K1 way would
be very good solution.
