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.

Kieth,
From the number of 'off zero-beat QSOs I hear on the air, I know you
are not alone.
Some folks do have very good pitch recognition, but others (like me)
have a certified 'tin ear'.
Unfortunately, those with good pitch recognition have no concept of what
it is like for folks like me. I
If,
A person with great pitch knows someone who cannot sing in tune, that should
help define the issue. Kent, do you know of a person like that? I have

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
