That fixed it - I perhaps did not turn the control all the way to zero (0)

Hi Edward,
To change the monitor volume press the CMP PWR knob and you should hear
the tone. Adjusting the same knob up and down as required, in my case
setting it to zero makes the tone inaudible in both the speakers and the
headphones.
Just for ref the AF-Sub knob is unaffected and shoul
Good morning.
How do I turn OFF the K3 Monitor function?
Reducing the volume to zero (0) does not remove the audio from my headset.
I can find how to set it up and change the volume (p. 28 K3s manual) but not
how to turn it off.
Thanks!

So, how is it that I missed that? I am certain I tried to find out how to vary
them separately. Now, it has been long enough that I am even wondering if
maybe it was two other tones that I wanted to differentiate. I need to look
into what it was that I was thinking. I always hate these thing

If I remember, the side tone volume is the Monitor volume. It would be nice to

Thanks, Oliver, but it's not RF, it's audio. I was testing in 'test'
mode. The solution was supplied by Iain a couple of posts up.
I do have some toroids on order for another problem though.

Dear Mike,
Maybe you have solved this by now. But, if not, my experience might be
helpful. I also noted a sort of rough feedback when listening to the monitor.
In my case it was RF feedback. Maybe you have had a rough SSB signal for some
time and the monitor just revealed it to you?

LINE OUT from the K3 includes Tx audio. LINE IN goes to Tx audio.

Any voice mode (I don't have FM) I get feedback with MIC+LIN on. Muting

Since you are using phones, do not overlook the possibility of RF

Are you using headphones when you turn up the monitor? If you are using
the speaker, the microphone will pick up the speaker sound and result in
a lot of acoustical feedback.

I was playing with ALC and compression settings tonight, and turned on

I am a relatively new K3 user and operate 90% CW and the rest SSB and PSK.
I note that the monitor level for CW and SSB can be adjusted independently,
which is fine. On CW I always use headphones. But when I operate SSB, I
sometimes use headphones and sometimes a loudspeaker.

Hi Ed
My monitor had a similar effect on SSB when I first got my K3. It was more
of a delay in the monitor rather than an echo.
However various firmware updates appear to have eliminated the issue. I am

are running ?
