[Elecraft] CW listening pitch

[David Cole]

Hi,
If you have an older hearing test, use the most recent one, and see what
part of the audio spectrum you hear best at, within the allowed spectrum
of the K3.  Then select that frequency.  I had a hearing test, and the
best frequency was several hundred HZ away from my optimum, and many db
away as well.  After changing it, I copy CW much better.
