I added bypass to the 784 DSP for transmit so you don't have to
filter the sidetone, but of course you don't have to use the bypass
feature on the amplifier/radio keying line. It is a real DSP system,
and it does have a few milliseconds of delay. It is generally not
bothersome when you listen to sidetones through it, unless you go
really fast!
Another choice is a op-amp filter, easy to build and add to most
radios. I used them in my old T4XC's even.
I don't know why radios and keyers use such crappy sidetone signals.
