[Elecraft] Stereo CW on the K3?

[Wayne Burdick]

BIN mode on the K3 does simple 180-degree phase reversal, like the phase-reversal switch on some headphones. This can reduce operating fatigue if you've been on the air for a long time.

PITCH mode on the KX3 actually maps pitch linearly from low pitch (left audio channel) to high pitch (right audio channel), which can help the operator separate signals in acoustic space. It may be possible to add this to the K3, but it uses a completely different DSP, so we'd have a lot of work to do in porting the algorithm. I believe this is already on the wish-list.
