K1 No tone-does transmit

[Richard-3]

I'm trying to understand why I can't seem to get my K1 to emit a tone when I
press + and - but I do hear dits and dahs in my earphones when I transmit
and I do hear dits and dahs in my other radio when I transmit into a dummy
load.  I'm trying to do a final alignment.  Can you do a final alignment
with key down rather than via tone?

Any suggestions welcome.

Rich,

There is no sidetone sent to the headphones/speaker during a TUNE
operation - only during keying.
It sounds like your K1 is operating as it should.  Go ahead with the
transmit alignment - you don't need the sidetone to adjust for maximum
RF output.
