Default Re: Station Radio C-12

HI, TNX to all for suggestions and comments. I just downloaded manuals from VMARS archive and hope to solve all problems. In pratical use seems that the sidetone facility is working only in Voice operation and the same happens with Gain control because on Voice at the minimum the set is pratically mute. This is very strange because on this way seems that also if the CW mode is in the set possibility, working in this mode it is no easy. The receiver operates in break in so when the key is up arrive on the phone a strong signals/noise without the possibility to decrease for the Gain problem. Looking the manual the C12 is designed to work with rod antennas using an ATU. I have not the ATU and in any case I will use a standard dipole or inverted V. Any suggestion fot this operation will be appreciated. TNX de Mario
PS: I have many British-CommnW sets all perfetly working (WS18, WS48, WS58, WS19MKIII, ZC1MKII, C11/R210, C12) and in turn used on OM bands. No commercial set on my shack.
