CW Monitor audio lost on Line Out after upgrade of FW release in my K3

Classe Bergman-2
Hi,
Today I upgraded my K3 with new FW, I was using 5.38/2.86 and I installed
5.50/2.87
I then discovered that the CW Monitor audio was lost on Lin Out. First I
tought  that some settings was messed up but could not find anything. I
then downgraded my K3 to 5.38/2.86 and the CW Monitor audio was back ! I
found that if I change settings from LIN OUT = "Nor"as I normaly use  to
"=Phones", the CW Monitor audio comes back. So something have changed the
function of Line Out audio in the new FW release.
Since all audio levels follows the Front AF vol  when using  "=Phones" this
mess up levels to my soundcard in the PC. My K3 s/n 1464 have the old KIO
board without USB interface

Is this a known bug ( or maybe a feature ..) ?

Kidder, George
Ditto.  Essentially the same problem here on upgrading to 5.50. I have
not been as comprehensive in my analysis as Classe was, but essentially
the same findings.  What it means is that fldigi (for instance) can no
longer decode CW keyed into the K3, which it used to do.

But it's nice to know that the problem seems to be a new "feature"!
