[Elecraft] what should I hear using cw reverse vs

[J F]

Don,
Thanks, I think I just didn't write it clearly, or you
explained it better. In CWr (I think about tuning
during S&P in a contest), you go from a higher pitch
sounding signal to a bass sounding signal tuning from
the bottom of the band up.

You might fill me in, and probably others, what is the
advantage of CWr? Or is it like the sidetone frequency
a preferential thing? I can see some use in a contest
situation for it...
Cheers,
Julius
