[Elecraft] K1 - zero beat question

[Craig Rairdin]

The Elecraft radios are set up so that if the pitch of the received signal
matches the pitch of your sidetone, then you are transmitting exactly on the
same frequency as the received signal.

You can go to STP in the menu to hear your sidetone pitch. Just turn that on
during receive and match the signal to it. This is described on page 57 of
your manual under "Spotting".

I am quite new to this.  I built the K1 recently and it is fine working
order.  I have studied norse and I have every intention of making some
contacts this weekend.

 

My question:  I have watched my mentor zero beat with a factory transceiver.
It was fascinating and I think I understand the concept.  I don't exactly
understand how to do it with my K1.  It seems like I should be doing it just
like any other rig conceptually.  How can this be accomplished?
