[Elecraft] Separate CW Pitch for Main and Subreceiver

[David Gilbert]

Thanks, Guy, that appears to work.  I should have thought of that 
myself, I guess, but somehow I thought PITCH would be separately 
definable for the subreceiver. 

I used BSET to shift the subreceiver about 150 Hz.  I've tried it both 
directions, but lower of course gives me the greatest percentage 
difference.  As I tune VFO B the signal in the subreceiver peaks at the 
different pitch and it's easier to distinguish it from whatever I'm 
hearing in my left ear.  I currently have it set for 640 Hz in my left 
ear (my preferred tone) and 500 Hz in my right ear.

I was kind of hoping for a method that was independent of passband 
shift, but I'll gladly settle for this one.  Thankfully it holds as I 
change bands.

Thanks again!

73,
