  I was all set to do the modification suggested by elecraft to get the Side Tone audio working. I must have read over this email at least 2 dozen times. I finally re-read the part about editing St L and pressing DISPLAY to switch from U6-25 to U8-4 With the jewelers screwdriver in hand, ready to slice the trace... a little dimly lit lightbulb finally lit up... 

   What if it is set to U8-4??

Just for kicks... I checked it out. Sure enough, it was. I switched it to U6-25... voila! Side Tone!! Without even touching a soldering iron to it, its fixed :) 

I guess that didn't really set in because I thought it might have been something that appeared in the menu after you cut the trace. In the volunteer fire department we have a saying, "Try before you pry". In this case, it worked. My K2 has side tone and now I can operate CW (yay!) Thanks again for all your help. 

Best regards and 73
