Hi Knut,

That adjustment should be made by adjusting for the offset of the
center frequency of the filter.  Even the 8 pole filters can be off by
a little and it's the most noticeable when switching sidebands.

Adjust the center frequency of the filter until you hear the same
pitch with both filters.
