Are you local to your system or doing this remote John?

Be sure you have the mode for the active transmit slice set to "CW". Then, in the "Phone Transmit Control Panel" is a button labeled "MON". Click it that so that it is blue, and voila! You will hear the CW Monitor. You can set the pitch of the monitor tone (and simultaneously the CW transmit offset) to whatever is comfortable for you in the CW Transmit Control Panel. You can also use the rig as a code practice oscillator by not enabling the "Breakin" button. If you enable that button, the radio will transmit when you send CW. Hope this helps!

Yep that should work if you are local.. hopefully you have some nice speakers plugged in as well..

I should note that if you are using the built-in keyer that the "Breakin" button will not stop the rig from transmitting. This works only with an external keyer.

Thanks, Craig and Chris...only problem is that when the mode is CW the PROC and MON buttons go away and Sidetone, Breakin and Iambic are visible...when I go back to USB, MON reappears...is this just a setting that I have wrong or something else?0

I think sidetone is only available on the radio - either through the headphone jack or the rear speaker jack. Turn off Breakin and you'll get no transmit. My key is plugged into the front of the rig.
As far as I know, for some reason the radio does not send sidetone to the computer. Sidetone is only available on the radio (headphone/speaker).

Yes this is why I suggested plugging in a set of speakers...0

Oh. OK. I guess I was being redundant. 73 and Best Wishes.

OK, the layout of the buttons changed with v2.0 I think... or my memory is faulty. The button that needs to be turned on is labeled "Sidetone" and is on the P/CW control panel. If that button is gray, you will hear no sidetone, i.e. the local CW signal monitor. Try turning that on and see if it works for you.

Close...undoing the breakin button keeps the rig from transmitting with the paddles, but not with CWX or anything sent from a Contest program. But a safer way to prevent accidental transmission is to turn power all the way off, or set the transmit antenna to XVTR, assuming you don't have a transverter connected.0
-
Correct. It is labeled MON in phone and digi modes, and SIDETONE on CW.0
-
Good thoughts, but sidetone is on and is up about 80% and no sound coming from speakers, but CW sound does come through headphones...weird...

Hi John.. I'll have to check the manual again, but I believe the only way you can hear the CW sidetone during transmit is through the headphone jack (and possibly the external speaker jack on the back panel). I remember Tim mentioning that currently it's not possible to hear the tone through the PC when on Remote (yet).

Im sorry in my first response I was not clear by just asking if you were remote/local. remote can be on and used, even in shack, for most uses. if you are doing this, you will not hear sidetone via the computer speakers. to get side tone, speakers need to be plugged in directly to the transceiver in the back, or from headphones plugged into the front.
Paddle initiated CW side tone will not work via computer in LAN or WAN remote situations, in shack or out.
For your skype training, ensure the remote button is NOT illuminated (top of SSDR). plug speakers into the back of the transceiver. use your skype microphone to pick up the ambient side tone from your speakers plugged into the transceiver.

Thanks everyone!! Plugging powered speaker into the back of the Flex did the trick!!! Maybe I'll master CW yet...doubtful, but maybe. Thanks again to the wonderful Flex community!0

Clarifying this old thread.
CW sidetone IS audible via speakers with "breakin" turned off in SmartSDR (when rig directly connected to a set of paddles ).

Yes, as long as the TX slice is in CW mode.
