[Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions

[n4lq]

How about eliminating the tone when pushing either "pitch" or "mon" and only 
producint the tone when pushing "spot"? That seems like a good compromise. 
That way we could change pitch or st level mid-QSO and still have the tone 
available when we want it.
