[Yaesu] FT-1000D AF out sidetone

[Jim White, K4OJ]

agreed

I thought I would cleanse the operatkng desk by taking the audio out of 
the speaker jack on the back - that way no plug sticking out of the rig 
in fron - then I found I had no control over the seidetone (moni) 
level... boy, I sure was loud!

My solution was to but some streamlined right angle stereo adpators from 
Radio Shack, they are molded and rather sleek - plu this allowed me to 
keep my mini plug which was in the speaker jack on the back....

Now I can go through a weekend without resulting deafness again... as 
the post states however if there were an EASY modification to allow all 
this to be done from the jack on the back I would prefer doing that in 
order to eliminate the plug which of course is right next to the drive 
control and hence in the way.

73,
