[Elecraft] CW-Pitch 600 Hz or 700 Hz or what?

This is the one feature that I really wish the K2 had.  My TS-940 and 
756-ProIII both have this, and I find it very helpful.  It's not only nice 
to be able to customize the sidetone pitch, but I like to tweak it easily 
via a front-panel knob every so often during long operating periods, like 
contests - adjusting the sidetone (and zero-beat point) up or down a little 
from time to time seems to help minimize ear (or is it brain?) fatigue.

If the filters are not set too narrow I find that the RIT does this for me.
