No.  At low pitches, the MCU shifts the IF filter such that the lower side
is never lower than ~200 Hz.  If you're using a 500 Hz XFIL and PITCH 300,
the XFIL passband is actually 200-700 Hz...not 300 +/-250 (i.e. not 50-550
which would be centered).  Even though you see FC*.30 for the DSP filter,
the IF filter is actually offset.
