Now what did I do??
Locked
 
|
I pulled the KAT-2 out of my K2 because it looks like I've managed to blow
the diodes out for the 2nd time. How hard is it to remove it? What could I possibly screw up? Take the top cover off, pull the 2 cables, take the nuts of the 2 bnc connectors and remove the ground lug. I mean what could I possibly have done? Next hooked my T-1 auto tuner in line, went to menu and changed InP to Hand. Check it and that works just like its suppose to. But................... my sidetone is gone?? What did I mess up this time and how? Some years aren't my year, maybe 2007 will be better??

Jerry,
The most likely answer is: You inadvertently changed the menu parameter for the sidetone source. Enter the menu and scroll to 'ST L' - hold EDIT to edit the parameter, and then tap the DISPLAY button to toggle the sidetone source. Stop when you hear the sidetone and exit the menu. I have heard of at least 3 occurrances of this in the last week - are we having an epidemic of some kind? <G>. Maybe the phase of the moon? 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > But................... my sidetone is gone??

Guess what? Its back my sidetone is back. What did I do? Well I have no
clue. Several people yesterday made comments on what to do, I tried them all and never could get the sidetone to work. Last thing I did last night was key the rig just for grins and of course no sidetone. One of the first things I did this morning was fire up the rig and guess what, sidetone works FB. Ain't electronics great? I have no clue.

Jerry and gang,
When one changes the sidetone source to the proper setting via the menu, the sidetone doesn't always come back right away. It seems to come back after the rig is turned off and back on. At least, that's what happened with my rig, and it sounds like what happened with yours. 73 & 72, Jeff WB5GWB Long Island, NY ----- Original Message ----- From: "nr5a" <[hidden email]> To: "nr5a" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Now what did I do?? > Guess what?

If it were me I would look at all the PCB traces having to do
with the sidetone and I would touch up those component leads with a soldering iron. Something in that chain is intermittent and your sidetone is... now you have it, now you don't. de Joe, aa4nn ----- Original Message ----- From: "nr5a" <[hidden email]> To: "nr5a" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Now what did I do?? > Guess what?
