[Elecraft] K3 feature request - I want Ducking!

[Darwin, Keith]

Ducking is a commercial radio / sound industry technique of attenuating
the music when the DJ talks.  In the old days, the DJ at the radio
station would just pan down the music volume whenever he spoke into the
mic.  These days, recording studios will use a compressor with a
separate trigger (side chain) input.  The compressor is set to attenuate
20 dB or so whenever there is something on the trigger input.  You run
the music through the compressor and feed the voice to the trigger.
Then, when you talk, the compressor is activated, forcing the music to
"duck" under the vocals.  Close your mouth and a moment later the music
rushes back to full volume.
