Since 300 Hz is as low as the K3 PITCH goes, don't you also have a 250 Hz
offset when listening at 50 Hz?  

Wow...I thought I liked a low PITCH but this is the first I've heard of
anyone using 50 Hz!  240 Hz is as low as I ever used with my old TS-930S for
weak signals...coincidentally when working 4S7 via long path on 160m from
Colorado (truly a weak signal).  I have a recording of that on cassette tape
and later verified the PITCH setting was ~240 Hz:

More recently I used a 270 Hz PITCH to win N2XE's 80m beacon reception test
at 27 uW output:

page)
