[SCCC] Fwd: K-5 Keyer question

[Bob Grubic]

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you very much, Steve K6AW.

I continue to be amazed (and grateful) at the utility of this SCCC email
reflector.

At one time, I read the manual cover to cover (and underlined items) but
just didn't remember reading about adjusting the sidetone level. I likely
didn't need to at the time. With so much capability built in to this keyer,
I figure it must have an adjustment somewhere. Sure enough!

Thanks for taking the time to answer me. Happy Holidays!

73,
