  This makes no sense to me. If for example, you like
to listen to a 750hz tone, then you set your sidetone
to 750hz. Then, when you zero-beat on someone calling
CQ, you will be transmitting on the exact same
frequency that he is and the tone of your recieve
signal will be 750hz. If you are calling CQ and the
guy answering does not zero-beat your signal, then you
use your RIT to change the tone to the 750hz that you
like. Doing that does not change your transmit
frequency, but the two of you will be transmitting on
different frequencies because he didn't zero-beat.
