This is an easy one. Push and hold the Mon button as usual then QUICKLY tap your key down... Doing this will shut off the tone, from there you can operate the rig while adjusting the Mon "tone" level up and down. You can still move the VFO and do other things you need to at the same time incase you aren't settled on the loudness you've selected. No more annoying tone while in a qso..... > Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 06:32:04 -0700 > From: chuck.broadw...@gmail.com > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CW Sidetone > > > I just had my first qso with a K3 and Steve's point was one of the very first > things that jumped out at me.
