Missing CW sidetone on K2?

[Doug Faunt N6TQS [phone]]

Hi all,
Here in the Megapode Camping Resort branch of the VU4AN operation
(leader DL4KQ), where we have at least 5 K2's, one of them has lost its
CW sidetone.  It's believed that this is a known problem.

Can someone email me the appropriate information about this?

The usual issue is you're using the wrong sidetone source.

Menu
STL
Edit
tap "display" to select sidetone source

Usually you want to use U8-4, not U6-25, which isn't used unless you
have a really old K2 and haven't kept up-to-date on your mods.

Hi all,
Thanks for the help.  One of the ops had gotten that radio misconfigured
by hitting the wrong button, and then compounded the problem by poking
around to correct that problem.

We were all ready to take advantage of the relatively good conditions
this morning when the power failed from 05:30 until 10:30+, probably
because of the severe rain squall that hit a bit earlier and took down
two antennas.

Did anyone ever tell you you need a life? 8-}
The reason for that is we're required by the Indian regs to log in local
time, and since we generally have the various logging programs set for
zero offset and run the computers on Zulu time, the easiest way to
comply with that reg is just to change the clocks, but not the time zone.
