[Elecraft] SPOT, Gone but not forgotten

Sun Aug 25 08:49:00 2002

Hi Steve,

	I have tried setting with "St L" from the bottom to the top, 
it does not make the Spot work any better no matter where I put it. 
Since that happen yesterday while I was in the car just listening I 
did not try to send, but just now I tried the side tone with the test 
mode and nothing is there either, then I tried to see if it would 
transmit CW and and it does transmit but no side tone.

	So, I look in the schematics and I cannot find the Side Tone 
circuit, maybe it is not labeled. This is terrible, worse than I 
realized. I can work without SPOT but I need the side tone or I won't 
know what I am transmitting. I am glad that you mentioned the Side 
Tone so I would check it, now I have even more work to do once I know 
where to look.

Thanks Steve,

Mike

>>  HI Folks,
