Sidetone pitch and signal pitch should always be the same. Otherwise its kinda hard to zerobeat a station to make sure the auto zero beat did things right. I realize there are too many people who don't understand how to zero beat a station but that doesn't mean we should add functionality to make it even harder for people to do things right. :)

Or perhaps signal pitch could be made an additional option for the RIT/XIT control when RIT/XIT is off? (RIT is already an optional coarse tune control and has also been suggested as an optional band switch.) For sidetone pitch adjustment, perhaps MON could allow it with a 2nd push? Then you'd have sidetone pitch and volume with a single control. Makes sense? 73, Drew AF2Z On Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:50:48 -0400, Steve Ellington wrote: >How about eliminating the tone when pushing either "pitch" or "mon" and only >producint the tone when pushing "spot"?
