I now have firmware V. 1.66 loaded in my K3. I notice that
it still only provides a sidetone volume from 0 to 40,
whereas it initially would go higher (up to 60), both
numerically and in actuality. I commented on this some time
back, after the firmware was changed and the attainable
volume was lowered. I know many feel that it is sufficient
as currently provided. When I use headphones, the currently
offered range is probably sufficient. Using the internal
speaker though, I have to run it up near the top. However,
I preferred the range as previously provided, particularly
when you are driving a larger external speaker. I've tried
several larger external speakers, and on most of them the
sidetone is pretty anemic as currently provided. I know
several others who feel as I do. Is this ever going to be
returned to the original range? Why was it changed? Was
it creating some other problem as originally configured? If
not, I think it should be returned to the original
attainable level. If you don't need that much, you don't
have to use it. But some folks do prefer the higher level
option. I'd sure like to see it get "on the list" for
updating.
