[Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions

[hank k8dd]

Allow the PITCH to be changed without having to listen to the tone .... or 
with the tone.

Allow the sidetone level to be changed without having to listen to it .... 
or with the tone..

Allow the sidetone to be independently controlled (and be able to change
it while you are transmitting) or AF Gain controlled.

Personally I like the PITCH to be adjustable without having to listen to it.
And the sidetone adjustable without having to listen to it.
And the sidetone level independent of the AF Gain control.

And I'd like to be able to record both the TX and RX audio at a fixed level 
rather than have the level controlled by the AF Gain!
