K3 stereo volume balance

[Mike K2MK]

The hearing in my right ear is weak. I use the CM500 headset. Using just the Main RX, I find that my left ear is doing all of the heavy lifting. Lately I've been using the SUB RX in Diversity (with the main antenna) so that I can offset the stereo balance. By applying more SUB RX volume I am able to boost the volume level in my weaker right ear.

Is there a way in K3 firmware to re-balance the left and right channels using just the Main RX. If not, is anybody using an external device that accomplishes this task? Preferably one that is immune to RF.

As far as I know, there isn't. I've suggested that the CONFIG option (SUB AF = BALANCE)
that makes the sub volume control into a balance
control also should cause it to be a balance control for the main receiver when the sub is
off or not installed. I don't see a downside, but I'm not the programmer!

My hearing is OK, however I do find that when AFX is enabled in my K3 the
audio is always unbalanced, ie louder in the left channel to such an extent
I don't like to use the AFX much.
I've always thought an AF balance  would be useful, at present this is only
available when the Sub RX is active.
