Really? I have an 830s (soon to be sold) and find the K2's side tone is vastly superior to the 830. After one QSO on the 830, I'm wanting to shut the rig off.
With my K2, the side tone sounds very similar to the tone of a received CW signal. Not quite the same, but pretty close. IIRC Island Keyer folks make a true sine wave practice oscillator kit that is pretty cheap. I wonder if it could be used in place of the K2 side tone? - Keith N1AS - -----Original Message----- The CW side-tone in the K2 began with a terrible sound. Various mods improved the sine wave attritubes, but it remains relatively poor, harsh at the make and break, and in between I don't know how to say. In comparison, the MP side-tone has a soft rise and fall, while the tone in between is rich in overtones, very pleasant to monitor. Why is the K2 side-tone so lacking? Could a better one be a mod? 72, Fred - kt5x / w5ya _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
