Re: Sidetone not working

Gil WA5YKK
  Has anyone had the experience of getting most things going OK, then
gotten disgusted when the sidetone wouldn't work? My PRE/ATTN option
works OK, but when I push the same button for more than two seconds, I
don't get the sidetone anymore. I was using it for a little paddle key
code practice over two weeks ago, before the flu hit me, and now it's MIA!

Any ideas, aside from replacing U2? That Front Panel board is a little
complex to take apart "regularly", and I'd like to use my K2 on the air
someday.

Thanks, 73's

Gil,

The most likely 'problem' is that you inadvertently toggled the sidetone
source when you were doing something else in the menu.  Proceed as follows:

Enter the menu, select STL and hold EDIT to edit the parameter - first
be certain the parameter is set at a level high enough to hear (020
should be good).  Then tap the DISPLAY button to toggle the sidetone
source.  Stop when you hear the sidetone.

If you still do not have sidetone after several attempts and you have a
pre-3000 SN K2 that has been upgraded to change the sidetone source to
U8-4, then you should check the wires added to the back of the Control
Board.  The proper wire placement is shown in the KPA100 and KIO2 manuals.

73,
