[Elecraft] Using Voice Files along with Mike Input on a K3

[Stewart Baker]

It would be nice to have a LINE OUT setting something like =TX/RX 
where both the received audio and the transmitted audio were 
available at a preset (independent of volume control) level.
It would be very useful in contests to record both sides of a 
contact CW or SSB.
