[Drake] Drake 4 C-line side tone when operating CW

I  prefer a "lower than normal" pitch/freq when digging out a CW signal out
of the noise or adjacent CW signals.

I am using a Timewave DSP-599ZX.  The tone that I "prefer" is centered at
430 Hz or so.  Also, the 250 Hz I.F. crystal filter I have works best at
430Hz signal tone.

Question, how do I adjust the sidetone of the T-4XC so it will fall into
bandpass of the Timewave filter centered at 480Hz.  Currently the side tone
is at 600 Hz +/-, so when I transmit with the Timewave in line (set at
430Hz), I cannot hear the side tone or my keying.

Also is there an adjustment to assure that when I am using the R-4C as the
master oscillator (i.e. transceiver  mode with R-4C as the controlling
oscillator) I am in fact transmitting on the same frequency that I am
listening to (again I tune so I hear a 430Hz CW signal using the R-4C)?

Thanks in advance
