Yep, I saw that same post and tried lower tones the other day. For now I
settled at 500 Hz, like the improvement (over my old 650) and may go lower.

I have been running multiple programs (K3 Utility, WSJT, N1MM,
Digipan) that send PTT or other info to/from the K3 over the serial port
(which I have connected via a Keyspan USB/serial adapter, if that matters).
Only one program is running at any time so no problem.
