Using a set of computer speakers which have their own gain control allows
you to adjust the overall AF gain, including the sidetone then use the AF
gain control on the K3 to adjust for band noise. That's how I avoid having
to fiddle with the sidetone level.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions
I hadn't noticed that they didn't track until this thread, so I guess
status quo is OK with me. Just now, I found that in swapping between
speaker and phones, I do not feel the need to adjust the sidetone level.
While transmitting ... well, it can be disconcerting to start transmitting
full QSK and the band noise is so loud you can't hear your sidetone. But
as one poster said, you could turn down the AF gain in that case as a
quick interim cure. During noisy contests, I like the keep the sidetone
level high. A dedicated knob would be nice, but not worth the panel space
for just that function. I'm well pleased with the ease of accessing both
pitch and sidetone level -- much easier than on the FT-1000 I sold to buy
the K3.
Adjust pitch without hearing it? I can't imagine that.
Bonus opinion: I like the CCW for less bandwidth of the Width control.
