[Elecraft] Audio On K3 (solved)

We've all done it - which is why Elecraft has included an option for
audible button feedback tones. 

New users like Buddy may find it helpful to turn these tones on. 'Hold'
CONFIG to bring up the Configuration settings menu, and then rotate the
VFOB knob to find SW TONES. Rotate the VFOA knob to turn this option ON.
>From now on, when you either Tap or Hold a button you will hear a
different pattern of feedback tones.

The Owner's Manual explains this in more detail - but it's deeply hidden
in the listing of CONFIG menu settings where no new user could possibly
be expected to find it. While I agree with Jim K9YC about the virtues of
"studying" user manuals, we should never make excuses for the
shortcomings of the manuals themselves. 

In this particular case, the obvious place to mention the switch
feedback tones is very early in the manual, when explaining that vital
difference between a Tap and a Hold. And since these tones are intended
to be helpful for new users, isn't it curious that the factory default
setting is OFF?
