[Elecraft] K3 - CW Sidetone in Dual Receive

[GW0ETF]

Christened my freshly installed KRX3 at GW0GEI (M2) for the weekend cqww. It
arrived just in time (ordered February 1...) and was fitted without incident
the previous weekend; the K3 and (qsk) Acom 1000 worked flawlessly for the
whole 48 hours.

I found the whole 2 receiver thing an interesting and new experience. Being
able to hold a run frequency with pc sent CQs while scouring the band for
mults/unworked with the second rx was really useful particularly late on the
Sunday when runs got slower. Not really sure if I was using the best method
but it would involve tracking a potential contact on the KRX3/right ear, a
quick Alt-F10 (N1MM) to swap sub to main (right to left ear..), work 'em and
Alt-F10 again to resume.

So here's a question/comment.....to me it would make sense if you could have
the cw sidetone only in the left earpiece when operating dual receive.
Bearing in mind my position on the learning curve and lack of sleep, I was
sometimes losing track of which signals on either side of my head I was
transmitting to which lead to the occasional muddle - multitasking has never
been my strong point but I definitely felt keeping the sidetone associated
with the transmit frequency would have been handy.

Apparently the key term is SMOC - so if it *is* just a small matter of
coding I wonder what others more versed in the black art of dual receive
think?

73,

PS - Nice to work you Hank (K8DD) on 20m; over here 20 and higher were very
poor, 80 was terrific but 40m was the place to be.....
