[Icom] IC-756 pro2 cw question

Hi Jim,

The CW netting procedure on the Pro/Pro II is very straightforward:

In BK-IN FULL or SEMI, depress the Morse key, and note the sidetone pitch.
Then unkey, and tune the received signal to the same pitch.

Alternatively: Select BK-IN OFF, depress the Morse key, and tune the main
VFO knob to zero-beat the sidetone to the received signal.

On the IC-756Pro/Pro II, the transmit CW offset tracks the CW PITCH control.
The offset equals the sidetone frequency; the sidetone is analogous to the
reference tone on the MP or Omni 6.

Very clever radio.

Subject: [Icom] IC-756 pro2 cw question

Hi friends,
I have a question regarding zero beating a cw signal on the Pro2.
My FT-1000D and Omni 6 have a button when depressed produces a reference
tone
that you zero beat with the signal on the air, I find it an easy way to get
right on the frequency of the other station.
Being that the Pro2 does not have such a reference tone, can someone explain
how I can zero beat the signal of interest? Am I missing something here?
Thanks for the bandwidth de Jim  K2ZF
