[Elecraft] Zero-beating a KX1

[Fred Jensen]

I believe the only way is to match the pitch to the sidetone pitch, 
Kelly.  At least I never found another way during all the time I had my 
KX1.  The KX1 is a really nifty little package, no?  I finally sold mine 
when injuries from adventures in my 20's coupled with the accumulated 
birthdays began to limit what I could do in the field.  I use my K2, 
battery, and solar charger now since I never get very far from the 
truck.  I also found that zero beat was overrated.  "Close enough" seems 
to be "good enough."

However, I haven’t found a way to zero-beat a signal other than to go to the menu to listen to the sidetone, memorize it and then return to the VFO. I found a faster way to to that, but it is still just memorizing and going back and forth. Is there a better way to zero-beat? For those of us who don’t have perfect pitch? :-)
