SO2R + CW Sidetone

Juan EA8RM (aka EF8R) · May 2020

Hi !

I´m working with SO2R (6600M) set up and all works ok, but i can not mute sidetone.

If I uncheck sidetone or septup to cero on TX1 and then TX2 it works at first transmission but when i change to the other slice, sidetone it is automatically marked and sound very loud.

-Uncheck sidetone doesn´t work.
-Setup to cero doesn´t work.

When i work with just one slice it is no problem, i can do some changes and works, but not when SO2Rdefault it is selected on profile.

What im missing about ?
Many thanks in advance.

Juan - I never noticed that on my 6600M but, now that I look a little closer, I see that you are right. I usually have the side tone level turned way down so it does not bother me to hear it when I am trying to copy the second radio. I use N1MM+ for logging. If the sidetone on the second radio is bothering me, I just hit the ~ key to temporarily mute the audio on the second radio.

I'll be interested to see if anyone has an answer for you.

Hello Al, thanks for your answer.

Yes i´m also using N1MM last version 1.0.8397.0 and Flex 3.1.8.145

The main problem there for me, when I try to operate 2BSIQ, the sidetone it is too loud.

Using the ~ key i can mute one slice but when i unmute the slice i hear gain the sidetone.
Actually, always you´re listening both slices, (A and B on each ears), when you TX there it is a very loud sidetone which you don't need to listen.

Till now i used 2 radios and Microham MK2R+ with the next scenarios:
-When TX on A i just can hear B in both ears .
-When TX on B i just can hear A in both ears.
-When i´m on RX on A and B i can use ~ to focus only on A (both ears), only on B (both ears) or A+B
This works perfectly because you can be focused on the RX.

I´m sure it is possible to do it with 6600M, probably i´m doing something wrong or maybe it is there any bug somewhere (flex version or N1MM version)

Any ideas ?

Hello !. I found the solution.

Well, after 2 complete days fighting with this, I found the problem. First of all I updated 6600M to 3.1.12.51 and N1MM to 1.0.8408.0. And I finally realized I need to use some macros that with the MK2R were not necessary.

Now it is working good, but i still need do some improvements. This is what i did.
(probably in the future someone needs this information)

>>I unchecked options:
-Focus on the other radio
-FocusOther Always Swap

>>Include some macros i didn't need before:

F2 Exch,5nn >>{EXCH}<< {OTRSPOTHER RX}{END}{STEREOON}

Thats all. Many thanks.
