[Elecraft] K3S SSB TX monitor - feature request

[Phil, GJ4CBQ]

Thank you Richard.

Having slept on it, I realised that my earlier retraction, as a result 
of Joe's posting, was somewhat hasty.  I blame tiredness.

It all hinges on Joe's statement:

"Richard admits that he does not need the speakers when he is using 
headphones/operating SSB"

Re-reading the posts this morning confirmed that you hadn't actually 
said that.

My posting yesterday evening was based on the understanding that you 
wanted to operate SSB using either speaker or phones.  Thanks for 
confirming this.  Prior to my original posting I tested CONFIG:SPRK+PH 
on my own K3 and confirmed that it didn't toggle the monitor function.

73,
Phil, GJ4CBQ.
