There are two methods.

The first is the normal spotting tone that you tune for zero beat.  TAP 
the SPOT switch to toggle the tone on and off.

If you are tone deaf like me, this doesn't always work so well.

So, there is also a feature called CWT.  You press this button and the 
right half of the S Meter display becomes a zero-center tuning meter. 
You tune the signal in according to this bar graph.  When you are close 
(within a hundred Hz or so either way) you can either finish tuning 
yourself, or press and HOLD the SPOT button and voila!

The K3 will tune itself to zero beat :-)
