Tom,

The sidetone is generated by the MCU along with help from Control Board U8.
I suspect that you have the wrong sidetone source selected.
Go to the ST L menu and edit the menu parameter - set the level to 
something decent, like 40.
Then tap DISPLAY to change the sidetone source - it is a toggle. Stop 
when you hear sidetone and tap MENU twice to exit the menu.

73,
