[Elecraft] K3S SSB TX monitor - feature request

[Rick WA6NHC]

I'll make two comments and no insult is intended or implied; its an opinion.

Your 'need' to hear your own voice during transmit is not a common (to 
my experience) requirement.  There is often a slight phase shift and 
it's distracting to most so they simply mute the receiver and are 
satisfied with the silence.

If it is (as you've stated twice now) a 'common sense requirement' I 
daresay that Elecraft would have already implemented it; they're rather 
good at doing that.  Perhaps it's simple to allow, that's an unknown.  
However stridently insisting that any particular way is common sense 
that is contrary to the majority belief is not the way to endear oneself 
to those that are capable of creating a means to have it your way.

There IS a work around and you're aware of it.  The vinegar:honey rule 
applies.  Perfection is an illusion because it's perspective based.
