Stan, If you have problems deciphering the AF1 peaking controls to place the peak at 600 Hz (or whatever your chosen sidetone pitch may be), I suggest using Spectrogram (or Spectrum Lab or another FFT audio spectrum analyzer) to set the AF1 peak to the same frequency as your K2 sidetone. Use a broadband noise source at the K2 antenna and peak the displayed response at your chosen sidetone pitch. The AF1 has a wide range of frequencies, and if not set correctly, you will not enjoy the full capability of this audio filter.
You can "set it by ear" if you are good at such stuff, but many cannot do that - I use Spectrogram as my "crutch". 73, Don W3FPR On 12/14/2010 8:23 PM, stan levandowski wrote: > Don, thanks very much.
