[Elecraft] K3s Hearing low level rear speaker audio with SPKR+PH no and low AF set

I just noticed that I have low audio output on my K3s rear speaker out when
CONFIG->SPKR+PH is set to no.  I always chalked this up to being able to
hear audio from my headphones sitting on the left side of the desk here,
but I'm getting a low audio out of primarily the left speaker still when
spkr+ph is off.  I'm going out of the speaker output on the K3s KIO3B into
some high end speakers, but I can duplicate the issue with a pair of
headphones too.  So it's not the amplified speakers picking something stray
up.

The CONFIG AF GAIN is LO and when I switch between LO and HI, the output
gets louder with the SPKR+PH off.  The output is primarily on the left
channel too?  Scratching my head.  A bad relay on the KIO3B?  When I switch
the SPKR+PH to ON, all is well for the left/right output on the output and
of course the volume / AF level goes way up like it should.

By the way, I have SPKRS set to 2 as expected.  Hmmm... am I missing
something obvious here?  RTFM? :)
