[Elecraft] Potential Purchase of K2 Cw Beat Note Question

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Frank,

The lowest frequency that the K2 sidetone will go is 400 Hz.  The default is 
600 Hz, and yes, the frequency offset is automatically computed.

I believe the 'standard' of 750 Hz came about when designers were using the 
filter and SSB BFO crystals for CW too (saved switching in another crystal). 
I always thought that pitch was too high, but I had to endure it during my 
Heathkit days - we had no choice.

73,
Don W3FPR
