[Elecraft] K2 CW sidetone pitch - what do you use?

[Andreas KU7T]

Hi,

I have set up my K2 to use 650 Hz as my sidetone pitch.  I took part in =
the WPX last weekend using another rig (ICOM 775) and the pitch was way =
lower, somwhere around 450 or so.  I did like it, it seemed to be easier =
on my ears/brain etc.

I know that there are many opinions out there about which is the best =
pitch for DX or contesting. I did some investigations in the newsgroups =
and it seems that all those opinions are personal preferences and no =
scientifically based facts. And many rig manufacturers are using 800 Hz =
as the default setting.

Now, what do other K2 owners use?
And, does the K2 (and its filters, DSP, etc) support going down as low =
as say 450 Hz?
