Cris, In that case, you have firmware 2.04R which locks the sidetone source at U8-4. Is your K2 Serial number below 3000?  If so you must do the sidetone source wiring changes as shown in the KIO2 or KPA100 manual. If SN3000 or above, you have a problem that needs to be found.  Do you have a

RE: [Elecraft] Sidetone

Wups! Okay, that exhausts my tiny knowledge of the switching issue! Perhaps Don or one of the other guys here will have some more ideas. Never hesitate to ask - believe it or not, that's what this reflector is for (although at times we wander so far afield one might not realize it, Hi!) Ron AC7AC

Re: [Elecraft] Sidetone volume

Bob: One solution might be to set one of your programmable function keys to be sidetone level. At least that would eliminate the problem of going through the menu each time you needed to change it. 73's, John AA0VE Bob Tellefsen wrote: Hi Sverre The problem with the in-line volume control i

RE: [Elecraft] Sidetone volume

Fred, R35 and R36 are only in series with the headphones, not the speaker (follow the audio amp output through the switch on the headphone jack to verify). You will have to experiment with the required value - I do not have voltage levels corresponding to the numbers of STL, nor do I have the SPL

RE: [Elecraft] Sidetone volume

Tnx Don I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I DO have to reduce the volume greatly when using the headphones. From my perusal of the schematic for the K2, it looks like if I changed R36 it would change the AF level on both the speaker AND the phones...NOT what I *think* I want. It loo

RE: [Elecraft] Sidetone volume

Fred, Since you are reducing the setting of the AF gain control when changing from headphones to the speaker? If so, that is the reason in a 'nutshell' - the level of the sidetone is not controlled by the AF gain. So, if you set the sidetone level to be correct for your speaker volume, then it w

[Elecraft] Sidetone volume

Hi Gang My wife often invades my shack to watch TV while my son plays Xbox on the TV in the living room. I plug in my headphones while she is watching TV so that the noise won't bother her...(and the noise from the TV won't bother ME)...But when she's gone I unplug the headphones and use an ext

[Elecraft] sidetone mod now works

The sidetone mod by TF3MA was installed in my K2 right after Marti posted it. I obtained a 47 mh inductor for this mod from Elecraft. The mod resulted in an improved sidetone, but left room for further improvement, especially at lower tones. Additionally there was an objectionable pin-prick
