K2 lost sidetone?

Jeff Kinzli
Oh man, what timing...2 hours before the start of the contest, and I
went in and did CAL tPA to set the ambient temp of the KPA100, and
when I came out of the menus, I had no sidetone anymore!

Going through all the menus, all the side tone settings look correct.
The rig hears and transmits fine, but the sidetone is silent.

I thought I might need to reset back to defaults, but I think that
resets all the filters and BFO, etc., right? If that's the case, I've
gotta go through realignment again? I'll miss the beginning of the
contest :( I'm going to miss it anyhow though at this point.

Any ideas short of disassembling and resetting?

Thanks,
-J

Jeff,

Your sidetone source likely was switched for some reason or other - maybe by
an 'extra' finger press while in the menu

Go back into the menu and dial up ST L, press EDIT to move the cursor over
to the right side and then tap DISPLAY to toggle the sidetone source.  When
you hear the sidetone, stop and exit from the menu.

In some rare instances, it may take a few 'toggles' to get things to switch
properly, so try it several times.  If you have a post SN 3000 K2 (or have
put the sidetone source change on an older K2 because you added the KPA100
or KIO2) your sidetone source should be 'U8 - 4' - you will see the source
displayed briefly each time it is toggled.

73,
Don W3FPR
