[Elecraft] filter settings and hearing

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

Not an odd question at all:

Certainly it is possible (and desirable) to center the CW filters at your
chosen sidetone pitch.
Adjust the BFO frequencies to do just that.  Spectrogram is the tool of
choice for most folks to adjust the passband positioning.  If you have not
used it before, I refer you to the info on my website
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com in the K2 dial calibration article, and also to
the information that Tom Hammond has on his website www.n0ss.net .  Yes it
is a straightforward procedure - do not be intimidated by the number of
words used to tell folks how to do it - just follow the steps one time
through and you will be a pro.

73,
Don W3FPR
