Ken Different headphones require different sidetone level. I use QSK 100%. Band noise conditions dictate various ST levels too. I'm always messing with it. I like it loud so it overrides the background noise. When the XYL is asleep, I turn it down. I can't imagine leaving it set at 30 all the time but that's a personal preference. I just want to be able to change it on the fly and not have to put up with steady tones, holding in buttons and having it dysfunction when I hit some other key. I suppose I've always been picky about sidetone quality. I used to modify old TenTec rigs which had this horrible sawtooth sidetone. Click and thumps annoy me. The K3's sidetone is great. 73 N4LQ Steve Ellington [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Kopp" <[email protected]> To: "Steve Ellington" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 10:29 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 sidetone volume Request
