[Elecraft] k2 side tone`

[Don Wilhelm]

  Ron,

If the "F" you are referring to flashes every few seconds (replacing the 
"c"), then you have Fast Play turned on - see page 103 in the manual.  I 
don't believe any character can be displayed above the mode indicator.

On your sidetone problem check your firmware level - if is version 2.04P 
(hold any button in when turning on the K2 to see it displayed briefly), 
then you most likely have the sidetone source set wrong.  It must be set 
to U8-4 for K2s above SN 3000.

To change the sidetone source, first set the menu STL parameter to 
something reasonable, like 25, then enter the menu for STP - hold EDIT 
to edit the parameter, and then tap DISPLAY to toggle the sidetone 
source.  When you hear sidetone, stop tapping and exit the menu.  Note, 
if you have firmware version 2.04r, the sidetone source cannot be 
changed and you have a hardware problem.

If that does not work, please provide the serial number of your K2, 
whether or not it has the KPA100 or KIO2 option, and your firmware 
version - and tell me if you have access to a 'scope.

73,
Don W3FPR
