[Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions

[n4lq]

David
I do have the K3 and know how to adjust the sidetone. I just prefer having 
the AF gain and sidetone track to one control. Also, I like to be able to 
adjust the sidetone level while sending CW which you can't do on the K3. 
When you push the mon button you get a constant sidetone. You cannot hear 
the other guy sending no can you send cw yourself while doing this. This is 
very weird and I have never seen a rig act like this. It's not a deal 
breaker but it sure seems crude. Rigs such as the IC-756PRO have a little 
sidetone level knob that allows you to simply increase or decrease the 
sidetone level while sending or receiving with no interruptions. That's how 
it should be.
