[Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions

[John King]

I have to agree with Steve on this. I'm a CW operator.
I would like to have the sidetone track volume, while
still being able to adjust the mix ratio, preferably
while working CW.

After FD this year one fellow asked me an excellent
question: "What don't you like about the K3?"
I had been answering K3 questions all weekend, but I
wasn't prepared for that one. The single gripe I could
come up with was the sidetone volume adjustment.

As Steve says, it's not a deal breaker. We both own K3's.
