Is there a way to turn off the TX audio when running ft8, wjst-x etc?? It's not controlled by volume and annoying.

Thanks

Turn down the side tone.

I was using mine at a campsite with quiet hours and every time that I muted the volume through the OS it would unmute during transmit.? I muffled the speaker slots with a towel and quickly muted every time JS8Call transmitted.?

I could have opened it up and unplugged the speaker but it was dark, windy as heck, and I didn't want to accidentally drop something.? I'll probably wire a speaker kill switch but for now I've found that just plugging in headphones does the trick.

Just set the sidetone to 0.

Okay, I tried it and that does work well.? Ran with the default 30 and 0 then switched to JS8Call.? In the sbitx app you have to be in FT8 mode to see the Sidetone menu.

Thanks
