Hi,
I added the KAT100 to my K2-100 and lost my cw sidetone. It was working find before I connected the tuner, and afterwards no transmit sidetone whatever. And I don't have a sidetone anymore when I completely disconnect the tuner. Any ideas about what I might have set on the menu system (or in the hardware itself) that turned it off? It transmits fine, tunes wonderfully, etc, but I can't hear myself keying. -- Bob/W4MKO ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
Bob,
It is quite likely that you inadvertently changed the sidetone source in the menu. The proper sidetone source for K2s above SN 3000 and all with either the KIO2 or the KPA100 installed is U8-4. First go into the menu for ST L and set the level to something you are bound to hear - try the range of 25 to 30. Now enter the menu for ST P and hold EDIT to edit the parameter. Then tap the DISPLAY button to toggle the sidetone source. Stop tapping when you hear sidetone, and exit the menu. If that does not produce sidetone for you, you may have a hardware problem. If your K2 serial number is less than 3000, check the back of the control board, you will see a wire going to U8-4, be certain it is securely soldered (see the KPA100 installation manual). Also if your SN is less than 3000, and the A to B upgrades have been installed, there is one resistor and a shielded inductor that have been added to the back of the board - make certain that they are properly in place (see the A to B upgrade instructions). If all that is intact and the source is correct, and you still do not have sidetone, you may have a firmware failure. 73, Don W3FPR R K Johnson wrote: > Hi, > I added the KAT100 to my K2-100 and lost my cw sidetone.
