[Elecraft] CW Sidetone

[The Smiths]

I don't know that it's in there.. there's a few things like that you won't find.  That's why we're all here to answer questions for each other.

I still can't find it in the user manual PDF.  I looked at every instance of the characters "mon".  Someone know what page it's on?  73, Guy.

I'm sorry, I ragged on all that time and the solution was already there.  Once again, I am correctly accused of not being able to find anything in a PDF doc if my life depended on it.  Does it work for pitch? 

I already have crow pie up here from an unrelated incident.  Order of the day this week.

73, Guy.

This is an easy one.  Push and hold the Mon button as usual then QUICKLY tap your key down... Doing this will shut off the tone, from there you can operate the rig while adjusting the Mon "tone" level up and down.  You can still move the VFO and do other things you need to at the same time incase you aren't settled on the loudness you've selected.  No more annoying tone while in a qso.....
