K3 MCU 1.96 beta issue

[GW0ETF]

Hi folks,

Have recently loaded the latest Beta software (1.96) and all appears
well barring an issue with the AFX (bin) setting. See the text of my
message to Elecraft support below - wonder if anyone can check this
while the Aptos team are perhaps busy at Dayton.

<<<<<< Quote.........
Just noticed a SEVERE drop in audio level when switching in AFX BIN
while using the headphones; not totally silent but extremely low and
clearly not right. Selecting one of the DELAY* settings produces normal
audio levels.

Mine sounds perfectly normal in BIN. Levels are the same in any of the AFX
modes.

Every now and then you feel like a right idiot and it's my turn now - just discovered the little selector switch on my headphones was set to 'MONO'....!!! Set it to 'STEREO' and all is absolutely fine - doh!

Nevertheless it's interesting to see the difference between AFX <BIN> and <DELAY> when switching the phones from mono to stereo.

Sorry for the bandwidth - off to grovel an email to Elecraft support now :-(
