Bruce,

To change from Iambic B to A, when the menu item is displayed, just 
rotate the VFO A knob to change the parameter.

The entire menu works similarly - rotate VFO B to select the menu item 
desired and then rotate VFO A to change the parameters.

I can't help with your sidetone issue - be certain the pitch is set for 
your best hearing. It may that the default pitch of 600 Hz does not 
match the sweet spot for your ears.
As a clue that 600 Hz may not match your ears, I have the AF gain set to 
low, and rarely rotate it beyond the 10 o'clock position - and I have a 
hearing loss problem myself.

73,
Don W3FPR
