Sidetone source

[Bill N2BC]

Hi all, recently completed K2 #5290.

I've made a couple of posts during construction, all the 'bugs' I faced
were self-inflicted.  Saturday I went directly from final alignment into
the middle of the NAQP and had a ball.

Yesterday I was on CW and while fiddling with various menu settings I
managed to lose my sidetone.  I just figured out that I must have tapped
DISPLAY while in the sidetone level menu.  When I use the secondary menu
to select U6-25 I have no sidetone.  The recommended setting of U8-4 is
fine.

Do I have a bug? (self-inflicted or otherwise)  If yes, should I worry
as the recommended U5-26 setting works fine?  Why selectable sidetone
sources?

Hi Bill,

I had this too, once and could not trace fauty parts, so I made a note of
all the settings ald did the K2 "Ctrl+Alt+Del" better known as the
"456+Power on". I askled Gary AB7BY about this some time ago and this is
what he wrote to me:

<Quote>
The U8-4 sidetone setting is easy to lose, if you zap the control board or
accidentally tap the Display button while editing the sidetone volume. That
setting is something I have been trying to get Wayne to hard code, since we
no longer need the U6-25 setting and it is a constant source of emails and
phone calls when the sidetone stops working (!).  <grin>

Hope this woks for you.

Bill,

The selectable sidetone source is for support of older K2s that have not had
the wiring change made for the new sidetone source.  It has been a source of
confusion many many times and IMHO should be eliminated in the next firmware
release (which would require those older K2s to apply the hardware change if
the firmware is upgraded).

Bottom line, your K2 (like all post-SN3000 K2s) has only the U8 pin 4
sidetone source built into it - and there is nothing missing.

Hi Don,

One's never to old to learn... I didn't know this and just cheked it. That
must have been my problem as well, I think,  but I can't be sure of course.
Maybe something to put in the Troubleshooting FAQ on the Elecraft website?

Peter,

Well, if you hear sidetone, you got it right!!!  It is no more complex than
that, and there should be no uncertainty in your mind.
The real problem is that folks don't know where to look first if the
sidetone suddenly disappears.
