[Elecraft] Zero-beating a KX1

[huntinhmb at coastside.net]

There once was a nifty CW tuning aid board available for the K1 which I wish I had built but never did.  A web search didn't turn it up but this link came up with, I think, the same basic circuit:  [ http://www.n5ese.com/zerobeat.htm ]( http://www.n5ese.com/zerobeat.htm )

Thank you, Don!

The idea was not to have more pieces of equipment, so I’ll continue the way I have been. It was nice to confirm that there is no better built-in way to do it.

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? :-)
