[Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions

[Nick-WA5BDU]

I hadn't noticed that they didn't track until this thread, so I guess 
status quo is OK with me.  Just now, I found that in swapping between 
speaker and phones, I do not feel the need to adjust the sidetone level.

While transmitting ... well, it can be disconcerting to start 
transmitting full QSK and the band noise is so loud you can't hear your 
sidetone.  But as one poster said, you could turn down the AF gain in 
that case as a quick interim cure. During noisy contests, I like the 
keep the sidetone level high.  A dedicated knob would be nice, but not 
worth the panel space for just that function.  I'm well pleased with the 
ease of accessing both pitch and sidetone level -- much easier than on 
the FT-1000 I sold to buy the K3. 

Adjust pitch without hearing it?  I can't imagine that. 

Bonus opinion:  I like the CCW for less bandwidth of the Width control.
