Newbie questions

[Gary, W7TEA]

Ordered mine yesterday!  Been reading the manual a few times in  
anticipation and I have a
couple basic questions.

Is the spot volume adjustable independently of the sidetone volume?  I  
do not see any reference
to this in the manual.

I know that the sub receiver hasn't been released yet.  I was reading  
that main receiver audio would
be fed the left headphone and sub receiver audio to the right.  On the  
Orion I would feed the main
receiver audio to both sides and the sub to the right.  Has there been  
any discussion of additional
options for the K3 or might this become available in a firmware update  
when the sub receiver is released?

Thanks and HNY!

I can't answer your questions, but would like to make a comment:

I set my Orion the way you do, but what I really would like to see on the K3
that I ordered in Oct. is a volume control for the sub and main that works like
the one on the Yaesu FT-1000MP MK V that I Just sold.  That rig had a volume
control which mixed the Main and Sub audio in stereo with emphasis on the RX
that the knob pointed to.  For example, when centered, both had the same audio
volume.  Turning the knob left increased the Main and lowered the Sub and vice
versa.
