When you adjust the tuning dial so that the incoming audio note
matches the CW-button tone, your *transmitter* is zero beat with his
carrier frequency...
This whole "zero-beat" thing has gotten out of hand since, as K8DO so
aptly explained, you tune in an incoming station such that the beatnote
you hear from that station is at the CW offset frequency that your
receiver is set for.
