[Elecraft] Systematic error in spots as heard by K3

[David Gilbert]

If the spotter was using a rig without an adjustable sidetone, wouldn't 
the frequency they spot be dependent upon the tone they prefer to hear?

I haven't thought that through enough to know if it's relevant or not 
... just musing out loud.
