But it would be quite handy for me when I'm using an external match box-- when I lean across the desk to adjust it I can no longer easily see the little SWR meter indicator in the K3 display.

>> Two suggestions which can probably be added in firmware for K3 and K3s:
>> 1)  Allow different audio levels for speaker and phones, such as an attenuation applicable to either.
>> 2)  Allow (but not require) the monitor level to be controlled along with the receiver levels.
>> If either is already available for the K3, someone please let me know!
