Don, Et Al,

Just a note: While I am fairly musically inclined, I find that most rigs (including the KX-1 and FT-757) produce a non-sinusoidal note which I can't seem to consistently get my brain around. I find myself going to spectrum programs a lot...

   Regards,

From this discussion, it is good to find that there are others like me who have a difficult time with zero-beating at any pitch. It is also interesting that those with good pitch recognition are mystified by the problems we encounter. It is likely that we all can detect the close-in low pitched beat note between two signals when that beat note is 20 Hz or lower - the problem I have is getting close enough to create that low pitched beat. I hear two tones, but whether the signal is higher or lower than the sidetone is often a mystery - sure, I can get them close with trial and error, but that takes time. Once tuned closely, it is an easy matter to listen to that low pitched 3rd tone (the beat). Thank goodness for zero beat detectors and Spectrogram displays for taking the mystery out of this procedure for those of us with 'tin ears'.
