Add a CW "Sidetone Check" Button in P/CW Window

sfraasch

While operating CW, it would be convenient to have a CW "Sidetone Check" button in the P/CW window. This would allow an operator to resonate or check that his transmitting frequency is close to the other station's frequency without actually having to transmit RF. A convenient location would be below the "Sidetone" button.

Auto zero beat should or would work, but I'm sure it's more complicated to implement. I merely want to press a button to hear the sidetone without transmitting so that I can resonate the sidetone - presumably zero beated - to the tuned CW station.

I hear you @sfraasch

What I tend to do: in SmartSDR or Maestro, I turn ON the sidetone (pitch at my 850Hz choice). Then, for tuning purposes and matching the tone, I turn OFF Breakin. Now, it's like the Olden Days, where you close your key to hear your sidetone, but you are not transmitting.

Turn Breakin back ON to go live. And at least this is located about where you wanted it 😀

AutoZeroBeat would be even better, but I'm used to tone-matching this way, for now.

HTH!
