[Elecraft] Audio dropout

I have version 4.22 firmware.  The transition from SUB off to SUB on,
and reverse, happens without any dropout.  What you describe simply
does not happen.

When I use N1MM,  ***N1MM*** has some kind of transition issue like
that.  But it does NOT happen from the K3 front panel.  Also sending
SB0; or SB1; from the command tester tab of the current K3 utility
(not involved with any third party software) produces an instant
change.  This is very easy to test and verify.

What is your firmware version?  Does this drop-out occur in the
context of using a logging program?  If so, what program and version?

73, Guy
