[Elecraft] [K3] Enhancement request - audio mixing

[Barry N1EU]

My interest in the audio mixing enhancement is limited to non-diversity use
of the subrx, i.e. with main rx on vfoA and subrx on vfoB tuned to a
different station.

The K3 already provides all the control I need for diversity reception.
