K2: No SPOT Tone

[Robin]

Hi,
 
I am battling to hear the SPOT tone on my K2. I know it is there because if I set St L to 250 then I can just hear it, but it shouldn't be that soft and should easily be audible at a much lower value. Any suggestions what I am missing here?
 
thanks
Robin

  Robin,

If you have the KIO2 installed, do you also have no data connection?
That is a sure sign that you have inadvertently changed the sidetone
source in the menu.

Try getting it back in the menu.  First go to the STL menu, and set the
parameter back to where you normally had it (try 25 to 30 if you don't
remember).  Then tap the DISPLAY button to toggle the sidetone source
(try tapping it several times if you do not hear the sidetone).

If that does not fix it, then you may have a bad connection somewhere in
the sidetone signal path on the Control Board.

Thanks, was a capacitor in the SPOT line that shorted both legs to ground.
