Lost K2 Sidetone

[Jeff-229]

I have somehow lost my K2's sidetone in CW mode.  I checked the sidetone level and pitch, and they are set properly, according to the display, but I don't hear a tone as I adjust them.  The spotting tone also does not work.  The internal keyer works fine, as far as keying the transmitter.  I haven't opened up the rig recently.  All I've done is play with menu settings.  Am I overlooking a menu option that disables the sidetone?  I'm definitely in CW mode, not SSB, so the sidetone should be working.

Any suggestions on where to look for the problem?

Thanks very much & 73,
Jeff

Go to MENU, St L (sidetone level).

Hold MENU to enter the level parameter edit (underlines under the numerals
to the right).

NOW, tap DISPLAY. That will toggle the sidetone source between U6-25 and
U8-4. Since you don't have sidetone now, one tap should restore it.

That was a change that occurred way back during a firmware upgrade in which
the sidetone is now taken from a different pin on  the controller.
Unfortunately that toggle gets forgotten about and then enabled accidentally
and suddenly the sound of silence is "deafening", Hi!!

That's your clue.

Try the menu: ST L (Selects the sidetone source) U 6 - 2 5 or U 8 - 4
. Use U 8 - 4 (default). Page 86 in the manual about 1/2 way down the
right-hand side of the page.
