No, and here's why:  I leave the menu pitch setting at 600 Hz on all rigs 
here; it never changes.  It's the RIT (non-split) or VFO A (split) that I 
adjust incoming CW to < 100 Hz while copying weak DX.  I've been using this 
method on the Icom '7700 and '7800 since their purchase.  Until I purchased 
the '7800 back in 2005, the only other radio I've owned that would produce 
ultra-low-pitch CW was the TS-870 but I never bothered trying low pitch CW 
reception until I tried it with the Icom.  So, the fact that the K3 was able 
to copy the 4S7 station last night using a very low pitch (with F/W 3.25) 
was pretty exciting for me.
