Although my elmer told me of similar tales when he was starting out, he taught me that the purpose of at least "near" zero-beating was to not take up more bandwidth than necessary. You're not running a full-duplex conversation in CW, and so sharing 1 kHz or less is entirely adequate. He also taught me, however, that is was your polite obligation to tune around your transmit frequency a bit to listen for any takers who weren't quite on your frequency. 73, Mike KW1ND _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
