Tom (& all) Yes, it makes sense. Next time I'm on the air, I'm going to play with MON level a bit to see what I get with slight changes to it's volume. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 -

Then, when I zero the received signal, I tune it in to the point that it (audibly) "disappears" beneath the sidetone of the same frequency... if it's NOT zero beat, you'll be able to hear the offset. If it is zero beat, it'll be hiding behind the sidetone. I (think I) can provide a short WAV file to demonstrate if you have difficulty following the above verbal description. 73, Tom Hammond N0SS At 12:32 01/21/2009, Darwin, Keith wrote: Content-class: urn:content-classes:message Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C97BF6.9C293F59" Really? I always try to tune CW by ear and I'm amazed at just how far off I am once I check it against the spot tone. I never get it right without some help. I suspect I'm not alone. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - ________________________________ one's preferred sidetone pitch is likewise instantly recognizable when a signal is being tuned in and "hits" that pitch. 73, Kent K9ZTV web page: http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
