Sidetone or zero beat

[Gary D Krause]

I was just wondering what people prefer.  Every radio I have owned has used
sidetone matching.  I've only owned one radio that actually lets you zero beat
a signal and that is the one I prefer the most since I can zero beat a signal
a lot quicker that fiddling around trying to match up tones.  I then adjust
the offset to either side of the carrier to my liking.  Before anyone says it
just takes practice, I'll have to say that 23 years is probably enough
practice. ;-)  I can do it, it just takes longer.

I would like to see this as an option on radios.  How about the K3?

  I have used audio zero beating since my first station:
separates, an Eddystone EA12 and Yaesu FL-101.
 And I tune my own pianos.
