Ron: Have you tried going to Menu, then Edit and rotate tuning knob to increase sidetone level?  It may be set to 000. 73: Joe

  Ron,

If the "F" you are referring to flashes every few seconds (replacing the
"c"), then you have Fast Play turned on - see page 103 in the manual.  I
don't believe any character can be displayed above the mode indicator.

On your sidetone problem check your firmware level - if is version 2.04P
(hold any button in when turning on the K2 to see it displayed briefly),
then you most likely have the sidetone source set wrong.  It must be set
to U8-4 for K2s above SN 3000.

To change the sidetone source, first set the menu STL parameter to
something reasonable, like 25, then enter the menu for STP - hold EDIT
to edit the parameter, and then tap DISPLAY to toggle the sidetone
source.  When you hear sidetone, stop tapping and exit the menu.  Note,
if you have firmware version 2.04r, the sidetone source cannot be
changed and you have a hardware problem.

If that does not work, please provide the serial number of your K2,
whether or not it has the KPA100 or KIO2 option, and your firmware
version - and tell me if you have access to a 'scope.

73,
Don W3FPR
