[Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions

[Brett Howard]

I understand that but I'm not so sure that both adjustment while hearing the
pitch and adjustment while hearing a signal is needed.  Why not just
adjustment while hearing sigs?

Brett, 

I'm not suggesting that offset pitch and sidetone pitch be different.
They are the same. 

I'm suggesting that sometimes you want to adjust this pitch by
listening to the sidetone and sometimes you want to adjust it by
listening to the received signal. Currently you can't hear the signal
while you adjust PITCH-- the received audio is blocked.

Why would you want to vary the signal pitch? Because a different pitch
can provide better copy under different reception condtions. But it's
pretty hard to tell what that optimum pitch might be without listening
to the signal as you adjust it, right?

 Now, you can vary the VFO in order to change the signal's pitch, but
then you have detuned it. I want to vary the pitch of a signal without
detuning it. The K3 can do this, only it doesn't let us hear the
signal while doing it.
