Again I agree. Changing the sidetone level or pitch requires us to listen to
the constant tone which covers up everything. I think the intent was good
but a bit impractical.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions
I don't adjust the sidetone level very often. Not sure I'd like to
have it vary with the AF Gain. I think I like having it as a reference
audio level. Mine is set at 25.
What I would like is the option to adjust the PITCH without hearing
the sidetone. In other words, listening to a weak signal I want to
adjust it's pitch (offset) for best copy. Different signal conditions
can warrant the use of different pitches for optimum copy. But you
can't do this with the sidetone overriding the received audio. Even if
you set the sideone level to zero the received audio is blocked
whenever PITCH is on.

?Just out of curiosity what do you gentlemen prefer? Do you like things
better the way the K3 does things where the monitor level is a fixed
output regardless of the AF knob. Or is the way the K1 does things more
preferred. The STL menu entry allows one to set the side tone monitor
as an offset from the RX level. So you set the monitor level and it
gets louder or quieter as you adjust the AF Gain.
My personal preference is the K1 method. I like this because if my wife
is sleeping then I like to turn down the volume (if not go all the way
and use headphones). I like to have the sidetone go down as well rather
than make a separate adjustment. I'm not asking for any changes. Just
curious to hear the thoughts of others on this topic.
