[Elecraft] CW listening pitch

[Don Wilhelm]

Ted,

On the K3 or KX3, just hold the "pitch" button and adjust it to your 
preferred listening pitch - that is all there is to it.
The K3 will adjust the filter centers accordingly, you don't have to do 
anything else.

I cannot tell you what is the best pitch for you.  All I can say is the 
default is 600 Hz, but use your own ears to see what is best for you.

Now on the K2 it is a bit different - the CW filters do need to be 
realigned to center them on the new sidetone pitch, but you are not 
dealing with a K2.

73,
