[Elecraft] Monitor in SSB sounds "crummy" K3s?

[Ted Bryant]

 Is CONFIG: TX MON set to "nor" or "FAST"?  Whichever it is, try the other one.

Everything from a Koss 40, Koss 45, Heil BM10 and even an old Turner 454C! And yes, I know about the bias issue. Again, they all sound good on a different radio (over the air) but horrible using MONITOR
