[Elecraft] Changing CW pitch?

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

RIT will not help either, the pitch will still be at the peak of the 
passband.
Now if you are only wanting to move it several tens of Hz, it will not 
make much difference - in other words, a properly aligned 700Hz passband 
centered at 580Hz will extend from 230Hz to 930Hz, but a 400Hz passband 
will extend only from 380Hz to 780Hz, and for a 200Hz width, it is 
likely to "fall off the edge".

73,
Don W3FPR
