[1000mp] cw zero-beat indicator

[J. Mc Laughlin]

I have no doubt that most people would/do gain little value or utility
from the indicator.  I find it to have some value as I have a problem
with being able to identify the pitch corresponding to the center of the
passband.  Watching the indicator helps me center a CW signal prior to
inserting the 250 Hz filters.  I can whistle in tune, but I can not sing
in tune.
    ....additionally:  I prefer a lower pitch than the "stock" 700 Hz.
I have found that the indicator on my MkV is not able to be adjusted to
much below 600 Hz.  So I have adjusted the little-pot-under-the-lid to
its lowest pitch and then lowered the centered pitch to be a bit below
that.
    In short:  I get some value from the indicator while I find the dsp
settings to be without value at all.  Everyone is different.    73   Mac
