[Elecraft] What's "legal" (WAS: K3: Voice pitch adjustment on SSB)

[Brett Howard]

I'd say that transmitting a tone to allow someone to tune up to you
would be considered a "Brief transmission necessary to make adjustments
to the station" and/or Brief transmissions necessary to establishing
two-way communications with other stations"

There is nothing that prohibits transmission of a tone to help someone
else tune up.  

I said it before from what I remembered of Part 97 and now after reading
it its still true.
