ECO for Headphone MIX

The Smiths
I would like to suggest an upgrade to be added to the Headphone/speaker mode or AFX menu.  As you know, now when you listen to the main and the sub receiver in your stereo headphone, or stereo speakers, you hear the Main VFO in the Left speaker (headset) and the Sub Receiver in the Right speaker (headset).  When using the speakers or headphones in this mode, with Diversity on, using 2 different polarized antennas, the signal will roll from left ear to right ear (or vis versa).  This changing of CW tones (or SSB Audio) can become very difficult to deal with. In some cases, almost causing a rocking boat affect on your head.
I would like to suggest that there be an additional menu choice (either in the Headphone/speakers or AFX menu) that allows for a "MIX" mode.  This mode would allow for 100% Main receiver in the left ear, WITH 50% Sub receiver in the left ear as well. And 100% Sub receiver in the right ear, WITH 50% Main receiver in the right ear.  This would allow for a very smooth transition between the two phases of antennas when doing Diversity mode, or other Dual mode reception.  Thus stopping the "rocking boat" motion in your ears.
I would like some feed back on this suggestion, and would like to see it implemented in the next software update if other find it usefull.  If you do not understand it, or need further explanation, please let me know.  Thanks,
Michael Aretsky

And while we're on the subject of audio balance, how about an option enabling the Sub volume control to act as a left/right balance when not using the sub-receiver? I like different volume levels left and right because one of my ears is worse than the other. A lot of headsets have individual volume controls, but many nice ones do not.

73 and thanks for listening
