[Elecraft] K3 Monitor volume and sidetone volume question

[Phil Hystad]

Wayne,

If I remember, the side tone volume is the Monitor volume.  It would be nice to have sidetone and monitor volumes separately controlled -- at least I have wanted to do that.  If this is possible now, I do not know.  Oh, by the way, I am referring to the K3 so I will change the subject accordingly.
