[Elecraft] Loss of sidetone...

[Don Brown]

Hi

It sounds like you have selected the wrong side tone source. Tap MENU.  S=
elect ST L. Hold the MENU to select ST L. Then tap DISPLAY to select U6-2=
5 for a standard K2 or U8-4 for a K2 with the KIO2.

Hi Everyone-

My K2 has developed a problem which escapes my efforts to fix:  In short,
I've lost all sidetone!

My K2 (equipped with all options, and Rev 2 Firmware) has performed very
well for about a year, mostly on CW, but with some occasional digital
scrolling tossed in for diversion.

A check of the Pri menu settings for Sidetone Pitch and Level shows them =
to
be set where they've always been set (StP =3D 0.66, and StL =3D 025).  Cr=
anking
the StL all the way to its max at 255 still produces no audible sidetone,
although I still hear the "click" which occurs when passing back and fort=
h
between StL =3D 255 and StL =3D 0.

I get no sidetone in either the tESt or OPEr modes, even though my power
supply and TenTec Wattmeter, and the K2 RF meter all DEFINITELY show a
signal is being transmitted in the OPEr mode.  The same no-sidetone probl=
em
occurs when trying to SPOT (zerobeat) an incoming signal.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I may have dumb-thumbed my way i=
nto
shutting off the sidetone source?  I have a feeling I may have changed th=
e
sidetone-source parameter, but at the moment I can't find the menu area t=
o
access it.  I think it was part of the Rev 2 Firmware, or may have been
connected with the KAF2 and/or the KIO2 modules, but it's been a long tim=
e
since I installed them or last saw a post about the sidetone source issue=
,
and my memory has gone blank.

Comments anyone?
