[Elecraft] CW listening pitch

[WILLIS COOKE via Elecraft]

Ted, the filter frequency is band width, but can be centered with tuning.  IE you can use the 700 filter to hear 200 to 900 with the center at 550 or 300 to 1000 with the center at 650 as you choose and tune.  The CWT on the K3 will center it for you, but you will not need to do this unless you prefer.  Most of us like about 550 to 600, but this is a survey, not fixed so you can do what works best for you and probably should.  That is the center frequency we are talking about.  Choose the filter for easy tuning and QRM/QRN reduction. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke,TDXS Contest Chairman K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS

I like to use the CWT function when operating CW and then the Spot button
to zero-beat.
I have been using 700 Hz as the pitch but would like to hear a lower
frequency audio tone for my own preference.

What is the mind of the Reflector on a best tone frequency and related to
whether it has any impact on the roofing filter selections?  I have the
700Hz/5-pole, the 400 Hz/8-pole, and the 200 Hz/5-pole.

And thank you all ahead of time for your answers.
