Remoterig - Control K3 makes audio?

[David F. Reed-2]

Hopefully someone out there is running Remoterig with their K3s that has
already been down this road...

I am in the process of debugging my setup, and have succeeded in getting
the radios to communicate with each other properly.

I am stuck at the following problem (I am sure there will be others
along the way as well):  when I am connected to the remote station, my
controlling K3 produces background audio.  Naturally, I cannot use the
volume control to do away with it, since that is controlling the volume
to the speakers (from the remote K3).

Is there a more elegant solution than just plugging an unconnected plug
into the headphone jack?

Thanks in advance & 73 de Dave, W5SV

Turn the AF gain down to zero before initiating RemoteRig mode?
