CWX Sidetone sync with Maestro and Speakers on Radio

Duane_AC5AA

After using SSDR for a few years and recently switching to a Maestro, I've found one irritation that I can't seem to solve.  I mentioned this to Steve Hicks at HamCom and he wrote it down to bring back for work.  I thought I'd add it here for tracking/view.  When I run CWX from the Maestro, the sidetone is only able to be routed to the Maestro speaker.  I have both my paddles and my speakers plugged into the radio, and want the sidetone to come out of the normal audio chain, not the Maestro.  Yes, if I'm using the Maestro remotely, then sidetone should come from the Maestro.  But otherwise, it's a weird combination.  The user should have the ability to have sidetone either place.  I don't know about having it both - someone else will need to comment on the validity of that.  Running relatively high speed QSK CW and having the sidetone bounce back and forth is very distracting.

Thanks for the response, Chris.  Yes, I completely understand the remote rig issues, but in my case, and for others who use Maestro for a "front panel," it seems a more seamless solution is needed.  I'm willing to wait and see what comes of the request.
