[Elecraft] side tone level adjust

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

There is a CONFIG value that adjusts overall AF gain - its called AF  
GAIN and can be set to Lo or Hi - but this just affects the overall  
range of all af gain (and side tone I think), I found the default of  
Lo was to low and set mine to Hi.

However, as someone else posted, to 'adjust' side tone etc, use the  
MON control.
HOLD the cmp/pwr/mon knob (bottom right of the 4 to the left of the  
main VFO knob). When you do this, niether the CMP or PWR LED will be  
lit and the VFO B display will show MON nn, where nn is a numeric  
value representing the monitor volume level. Then turn to adjust the  
level. Just press any button or knob to go back to normal function of  
CMP/PWR (which you can switch between with a TAP of the knob)

Finding items in the menus :
Both menus show the options in alphabetical order, and remember the  
last menu you were on until you turn the power off.
The MAIN menu always comes up on LCD BRT and the CONFIG menu on FW REVS
