Gil,

The most likely 'problem' is that you inadvertently toggled the sidetone 
source when you were doing something else in the menu.  Proceed as follows:

Enter the menu, select STL and hold EDIT to edit the parameter - first 
be certain the parameter is set at a level high enough to hear (020 
should be good).  Then tap the DISPLAY button to toggle the sidetone 
source.  Stop when you hear the sidetone.

If you still do not have sidetone after several attempts and you have a 
pre-3000 SN K2 that has been upgraded to change the sidetone source to 
U8-4, then you should check the wires added to the back of the Control 
Board.  The proper wire placement is shown in the KPA100 and KIO2 manuals.

73,
