[Elecraft] KX3 sidetone pitch requests

[Josh Lehan]

Hi there!

A minor request: I would love it if the CW sidetone pitch could have
finer gradations.  Currently, it is tunable only in increments of 10 Hz,
from 400 Hz to 700 Hz.  Would it be possible to have it tune in
increments of 1 Hz?  Reason is, the pitches sound "off key" to me, as if
it's being played on a piano that's out of tune.

The only musical note that lines up exactly with 10 Hz increments is 440
Hz (typical "A") so I've been using that, even though it's rather low.
I'd love to go an octave higher, to 880 Hz, but that's beyond the
allowed tuning range.

I have a musical background before discovering ham radio, and so I've
developed perhaps a bad habit, that is, matching incoming CW signals to
the sidetone by listening to the pitch and tuning the radio so that it
matches the known good sidetone pitch, like tuning a musical instrument.
 However, because of the 10 Hz increments, I can't get good tuning on
the sidetone to begin with.  It sounds strange to my ears, because the
sidetone isn't exactly where I want it to be, at a musical note I'm
familiar with.

Also, a wider range would be nice, perhaps up to 1000 Hz or so, as it
seems my hearing is more sensitive at higher pitches.

Thanks!

Josh
