I have an Icom 706MKIIG as a mobile rig. It has the sidetone level
controlled by the AF gain. Sometimes when trying to dig out a weak
signal, I turn the RF gain way down and the AF gain way up - which is
fine until I transmit, and my ears get blasted by the sidetone. I always
wished the sidetone *wasn't* controlled by the AF gain.

I don't know if that's the reason the K2 was designed the way it is, but
it works for me.
