OK, that explains why what I've been doing has been working! I set the
sidetone pitch I want and leave it alone. Everything else seems to work
out fine. I do have my RXEQ set to reduce higher and lower frequencies
but the RXEQ is pretty broad and probably isn't contributing much
regardless
The center frequency of the audio peaking filter tracks the side tone pitch
(PITCH control). So does the receive filter center frequency.

Is the center frequency of the K3 Audio Peaking Filter adjustable? I
didn't think so but honestly don't really know.
The coast marine station I worked at in 56/57 supplied 1 Khz [well 1 Kc
in those days] sidetone to each position. It was higher than most
liked, we had receivers to listen to
I get the best response for CW pitch volume from the K3 stock speaker with my
60 degree deflector horn on top. The length was determined by experiment and
gives a very noticeable boost at my desired pitch of 500Hz.

I had a hearing test a year, or two ago. I looked at the test results
and selected a frequency, looking for good response in both ears. I
then adjusted the K3 beat note to that frequency, which put the
frequency of the beat tone in the sweet spot for my ears... It also in
general got most
When you've got a weak signal peaked in a narrow filter or APF, that's
the time you'd like to optimize the pitch. Adjusting the VFO/RIT for a
different pitch is not really an option at that point.
You're right though, PITCH as implemented is mainly meant to pick your
favorite tone and pretty
Come on!!!
I adjust the “pitch” to suit my hearing. The pitch of the incoming station is
adjusted by the VFO! The “Spot” button will get you close to Zero-Beat. A
little XIT will separate you from others who Zero-Beat him in a pile-up.

Yes, the K3 cw pitch is easy to set tailor for hearing response and
speaker/headphone response; at least easier than the K2. For my K2 I had
written down the filter calibrations for a number of different pitches
so that I could change them on the fly while operating; I recall it took
less than
The ease of changing CW pitch in the K3 is indeed a great asset in setting
things up for best copy, and I have found myself using it quite a few times.
The immediate reason to change pitch has usually been a perception that with
the existing setting, the best copy pitch does not exactly coincide
