[Elecraft] K2 Sidetone

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yes, and it does produce a tone noticeably closer to a sine wave. However, as a "certifiable" O.T. for years my transmit sidetone was just the squawks, bleats and thumps the receiver made when the transmitter overloaded it before I graduated to a homebrew oscillator that produced a sawtooth output, so the idea of pursuing a musically-pure sidetone has never been an issue for me. I made the mod more out of curiosity than an issue with the original tone.

So I have had some quality time with my K2 this weekend.  
I am thinking of doing this modification to my sidetone, has anyone tried it?

Seems pretty easy to do and I have always thought it was “my ears”.

Comments?
