I cannot speak for the other rigs but the K1 already has zero beat function.

Regarding the kit, I believe for those tone-deaf or hearing impaired 
like myself, it may solve "zero beating the other op" problem as I 
always tend to go a little higher in tone in order to hear them.

I resolve the problem by using RIT. Once on (or close) in freq, I use 
RIT to set set a pitch I can hear.
Don't forget to shut it off when done with QSO!
