[Elecraft] No Audio from speakers after FW 3.97 upgrade K3

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Just last week someone mentioned a problem with lack of speaker
output after a DSP upgrade.  That was traced to not properly
seating the front panel (front panel board thought headphones
were connected all the time).

Try Speaker + Phones to see if you get speaker audio to confirm
that diagnosis and/or remove and reseat the front panel assembly.
