[Elecraft] Zero beating

Sun Jan 20 17:50:12 2002

What I've found in my 6 years of cw operating  is that being off zero beat a few
hz plus or minus makes no difference to most operators.  I have never had someone
come back and say zero beat me.  If you feel you must be exactly on by all means
build the tuning indicator.  For me I will stick to what works-my ears!
