Good point and there's probably no one answer to this therefore it should be
made configurable.
At least, the constant tone feature for level and pitch should be optional.
Basically, if I could just reach for a knob and turn it when I want to
change sidetone level during a QSO, I would be happy. Oh..heck...I'm already
happy but this gives us something to discuss.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Sidetone Monitor Preference Opinions
Sidetone level should be independently adjustable IMO.
I use headphones. When operating QSK, if I've run up the AF gain to
hear a weak station, I don't want to be blasted by high sidetone level
when I start sending, as would be the case if sidetone level tracked
the AF gain. I don't want to have to adjust the AF gain control
between sending and receiving under those circumstances to control the
sidetone level.

Just out of curiosity what do you gentlemen prefer? Do you like things
better the way the K3 does things where the monitor level is a fixed
output regardless of the AF knob. Or is the way the K1 does things more
preferred. The STL menu entry allows one to set the side tone monitor
as an offset from the RX level. So you set the monitor level and it
gets louder or quieter as you adjust the AF Gain.
My personal preference is the K1 method. I like this because if my wife
is sleeping then I like to turn down the volume (if not go all the way
and use headphones). I like to have the sidetone go down as well rather
than make a separate adjustment. I'm not asking for any changes. Just
curious to hear the thoughts of others on this topic.
