Thank you. At last, someone has actually read my post!

When operating SSB, I like to listen on speakers. If I need to fish a
weak one out of the crud, I'll grab the headphones and plug them into
the front panel jack. At the end of that QSO, I'll unplug and go back to
speakers.

When I transmit, I need to hear my own voice as sidetone in the
headphones, but not the speakers.

I want the rig to do this *automatically* without button presses, knob
twiddles, the use of different sockets or any external hardware. These
are all obvious but unsatisfactory workarounds.

The firmware, however, does not appear to support what seems a simple
and common-sense requirement.
