side tone level adjust

[Bruce McLaughlin-2]

I am still having trouble with the rather low audio level of the side tone
and spot tone in the CW mode on my new K-3.  The other day I received an
e-mail from a list member who suggested that those levels could be adjusted
by using a config menu entry which specifically controlled and adjusted the
side tone level.  Try as I might I have yet to locate that entry.  That may
be because I am not very good at finding such things for some unknown
reason.  I have now installed version 1.96b firmware.

Does anybody know how I can adjust the audio level of both the side tone and
spot tone?  Eager ears are waiting to know.

Bruce,

While in CW mode, hold the MON knob for 1 second. This will display the monitor or side tone level. Twist the knob to your desired setting and send away. I hope this helps.

There is a CONFIG value that adjusts overall AF gain - its called AF  
GAIN and can be set to Lo or Hi - but this just affects the overall  
range of all af gain (and side tone I think), I found the default of  
Lo was to low and set mine to Hi.

However, as someone else posted, to 'adjust' side tone etc, use the  
MON control.
HOLD the cmp/pwr/mon knob (bottom right of the 4 to the left of the  
main VFO knob). When you do this, niether the CMP or PWR LED will be  
lit and the VFO B display will show MON nn, where nn is a numeric  
value representing the monitor volume level. Then turn to adjust the  
level. Just press any button or knob to go back to normal function of  
CMP/PWR (which you can switch between with a TAP of the knob)

Finding items in the menus :
Both menus show the options in alphabetical order, and remember the  
last menu you were on until you turn the power off.
The MAIN menu always comes up on LCD BRT and the CONFIG menu on FW REVS
