Here I set knowing that if I push the "TUNE" button I will wake up everyone. Why? Because it emits a beep and it's loud. Why is loud? Because my MON level is turned up really high. Oh I would love to turn it down but if I try that it will emit a LOUD TONE until I get it turned down. There's only one known solution, activate headphones, adjust the MON level then go back to spkr. Yes....When using headphones I have to crank up the cw sidetone to about 42. If I forget to turn it back down to 15 before removing the headphones, I'm faced with the loud beep/tone syndrome again.
Here's how this SHOULD work. When I press MON, I should be able to set the sidetone level without dealing with a constant tone! I could then set the MON for whatever level I want without waking up the entire neighborhood. When I press TUNE (to activate my ext. autotuner) NO BEEP PLEASE I don't mind having to change the sidetone level every time go from spkr to headphone...I realize that's due to impedance and sensitivity variations BUT I don't want loud, wanted, beep or tone when I do this. I'm sure this could be done via firmware. If for some strange reason someone wants these noises then maybe it could be a menu option. Other than that my nearly 2 yr. old K3 has been fine except for the static electricity problem. When I touch the VFO A knob sometimes the screen goes blank, frequency changes and headphone changes to speaker output. Yea it's grounded to all kinds of things plus it's a new FP. Just weird I guess. 73 Steve N4LQ [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
