[RTTY] Yaesu MK-V sidetone level adjustment

[Jim Hoge]

I stand red faced and corrected. I had never used the monitor function for cw or rtty. When I engaged the monitor function and adjusted the pot, I'll be darned if it didn't work as advertised. Enjoy the laugh at my expense, I deserve it.

tnx es 73,

Yes but the monitor level function only works for voice mode, it has no effect on cw or rtty sidetone levels. Until I discovered that there is indeed a sidetone level adjustment for cw, I assumed that the levels were fixed. I haven't yet played with the level adjustment for cw as it will entail a bit of work just to gain access to the trimmer pot, hence the original question.There is something to be said for the ability to readily access the back side of one's radios. I wish the room were bigger to allow walk around access to the rear of the desk.

Doesn't the 1KMP have a monitor volume on the front panel like the FT2K ?

 radio.
