[Elecraft] AF1 - Practical Use Question

[stan levandowski]

Don, thanks very much.  Now all I have to do is figure out how to do all 
this and try to understand it at the same time.  My sidetone pitch on 
the K2 is set to 0.60 and I seem to recall that was a K2 default option 
which I didn't mess around with.  Presently, I don't seem to have any 
difficulty with the transmit offset.  I use "Spot" to make the other 
station "disappear" and Voila - contact!

I'll wake up tomorrow and get working on understanding and fixing all 
this.

73,
