Done,
The sidetone is up and running. Now to recalibrate the VFO and check a few other things and I will start building the KDSP2. I have a QRP top with KAT2, KIO2 and KBT2 standing by. #972 will be a fully loaded and up to date K2/10 sitting in the line up with my K1, K2/100 and K3. Thanks again Don.

Yes, make the cut on the trace ging between U6-25 and Q5. You will add 2 wires. The one from U8-4 to Q5 (make certain you do not put it on the R-PAK) is the one important for the sidetone. The long wire from U6 pin 25 and the capacitor is only used for data communications, and will not be used unless you have either the KIO2 or the KPA100, but add it anyway just for completeness. After you make the change, the sidetone source will be only U8-4. If you added the inductor and the resistor for the sidetone waveshape during the upgrade, check those components (and the trace cut) carefully if the sidetone still does not work. 73, Don W3FPR cstove...@aol.com wrote: > Hi Don, > > This is K2 sn972 I'm upgrading, so it's an oldy. The firmware chip is 2.04P which I somehow came into possession of while building my first K2 sn5939 a few years ago. I had Elecraft send only the new I/O chip, so the firmware came to me in pieces. I didn't see any notes about circuit modifications in the firmware documentation that I have. > > I do have the mods located on page 10 of the KIO2 manual.
