Any particular reason to need to zero beat to 1Hz? I find the auto tune
function works perfectly well. In fact if I'm one of many stations
calling I often offset 40-50Hz so as to be different from the all zero
beat mush.

Hello Ted,
When I need to be on zero beat within one Hz, I always switch on the
spot on the K3 and set the received signal to the same volume.
Once I hear the combination of both increase and decrease slowly, I know
that I am within a Hz. It's also the way I calibrate the K3 against a
standard like WWV or the russian station on 9.996 / 14.996 (forgot the
callsign).

I have never been convinced of being accurate on zero-beat on my K3.
With previous radio units, I would zero-beat by matching the tone of the
received station with my own keying side-tone. But it does not seem
accurate on the K3.
So the question: How would I determine that my offset and side tone
would
match up so that I am really zero-beated when I think I am.
Thanks ahead of time.
