[Elecraft] Why is 600Hz Suggested For K2 CW

[Linden, Mike (BRC-Hes)]

  I read somewhere in the K2 manuals (plan on ordering my relatively-loaded
K2 this fall) that 600Hz is suggested for CW operation even though the radio
would be capable of doing 700Hz. Does anyone know why 600Hz is "preferred"? 

  I would have a tendency to configure the K2 for 700Hz to match my Kenwood
TS-930SAT, but would be willing to configure it for 600Hz if performance
would be "better".

  Just curious, Michael N9BDF
