[Elecraft] Firmware 4.17 anomaly

[Rich NU6T]

I'm currently trying to run down a similar (?) audio problem.  I 
upgraded software (4.14) and then set up for SS CW.  It seemed that I 
had reduced audio on the right channel.  After the contest I started 
setting up for SS SSB and I'm not TX in SSB, unless I whistle and then I 
get a bit of TX.  I reloaded the previous setup and find I still have 
the problem.  I seem to have very low TX and no monitor audio.  Still 
trouble shooting.  I suspect it is something I did, but your story has 
my attention.
