[Elecraft] Delay in monitor audio - it aint there!

To those of you who were complaining about the delay in the
K3 audio monitor chain, I am curious what you are hearing.
After reading the thread, and playing around with the radio
for a few days critically listening for this issue, I dont
hear a problem.
Maybe its a matter of your listening through a sound card or
some other external device. Or maybe you have external
digital processing after your microphone. However, with a
microphone plugged in directly (OK, through a microHAM
MicroKeyerII then into the K3) and my headphones plugged in
to the front panel headphone jack, I do not hear any
discernable delay in the audio feed when listening to myself
in the audio monitor of the rig.
And before I get flamed for not knowing what to listen for,
Im "learned" in audio delay issues... As a broadcaster, I
understand audio delay and can see lip sync problems down to
around 2 video frames (just ask ABC and Fox TV Network
Control centers, they probably curse me even today).
Newspeople have complemented me on my attention to their
audio delay problems in their IFB and ProChannel feeds for
years (rare for them, because usually they only talk to
engineers when things are broken or they want a free tape
for their resume reel).
