[Elecraft] K3: Low speaker output problem

[Jim Cox]

It appears you have something defective in the K3 as 9 to 10 oclock on the 
volume control is loud here, I couldnt stand 3 oclock.   Have you talked to 
Elecraft support and what did they say?

> Here's the situation -
> Headset audio level is OK, AF gain at 11 o'clock with my Sony MDR-V6es.

> I have to set it full CW to hear the audio while I work around the shack.
> Audio is not distorted at his setting.
> Same problem with the built-in or separate speakers.
> AF GAIN is set to HI.
> I just did the DSP UPG to ol' 1823, and uploaded the newest firmware.
> It made no difference in audio output.
> This situation has existed since I first got the radio.
