[Elecraft] CW Sidetone

[Don Wilhelm]

  Guy,

I don't understand why the sidetone level needs to be changed 
frequently.  Since with the K2 (and the K3) the sidetone level does not 
change with the AF Gain, I simply set the sidetone level to something 
comfortable, and then to zero-beat a signal, I use the AF Gain to adjust 
the level of the signal audio to approximately that of the sidetone - 
works better for me than continually fooling with the sidetone level.

Try it and see if you like it.
