[Elecraft] Hi Don Re: K3- CW frequency offset adjustment - done!

Hi Don,
 
Thanks a bunch for the reply.  I lowered the Pitch from  700 to 660 and 
"all is well" and I'm on frequency now.  Wow- that was  simple.  Needless to 
say, I didn't realize adjusting the "Pitch" would  correct the problem.  (even 
old dogs can learn new tricks)

Dick,

Is the PITCH set to the same tone as you want to  listen to?  If so, CWT 
should work as you expect.
