[Elecraft] CW Pitch Resolution

[drewko]

If you want to go lower than 300 Hz for your preferred cw pitch you
could offset the RIT for the lower tone then compensate with SHIFT to
bring it back to the center of the filter. A keyswitch macro could do
this automatically if you hve a set pitch in mind, say 270.

It would be nice if there were commands to increment and decrement RIT
and SHIFT. Then you could write a macro to adjust the pitch of a
signal throughout a range while keeping it in the center of the
filter. 

Or, better yet, an optional RIT mode that would make SHIFT
automatically track changes in RIT. Say, if you "detune" the RIT by 30
Hz, the SHIFT would automatically follow to 270 Hz (assuming PITCH
setting is 300).
