---------

Hello, qrp-l-mers!

I've got a slight problem with my (mostly stock) NC38S. I installed the
TiCK keyer as explained in the manual, without any modifications. It
does work, although it does thump. I haven't tried the diode mod or any
other mods yet.

However, while the sidetone sound great while keying or tuning, I can
barely hear the programming tones. For example, when I press the NO
button, I hear the dit-dit-dit, but it's very faint compared to the
other sidetone. The speed dah's and dit's that I key are normal (loud)
volume. The same can be said for all of the other functions.

I didn't have one of the resisters specified in the manual for the
sidetone volume, but I used one rated between loud and medium. I'm
happy with the sidetone volume, but the programming volume is rather
weak.

Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks.
