[Elecraft] CW ZERO-BEATING WITHOUT BUTTON PUSHES

[Don Wilhelm]

Kieth,

 From the number of 'off zero-beat QSOs I hear on the air, I know you 
are not alone.
Some folks do have very good pitch recognition, but others (like me) 
have a certified 'tin ear'.
Unfortunately, those with good pitch recognition have no concept of what 
it is like for folks like me.  I have relied on Spectrogram to help me 
with the pitch for a long time.

73,
