Yes, thanks. I have used that to get in the right octave and then tried to pitch match.

Thank you for the info about not narrowing past 500Hz. I have used gMFSK on Linux to examine the spectrum, and used that for training my ear, and seen the bandpass but did not know to look for the Jones effect.

I remember having trouble with my HW-16 when I was a novice and I think we lowered the output of the neon lamp relaxation oscillator to reduce its tendency towards ear-splitting.

I find zero-beating the KX1 hard.

Try setting the filter to 500hz and peaking the received signal ... works for me. It takes a bit of practice but become intuitive in a short while.

The reason I use the 500 hz setting and not a narrower setting is ...If you hook the KX1 up to a PC running something like Spectogram you'll probably see that the center of the passband shifts a bit lower than normal with the filter at the 300 hz position, such that 600Hz is no longer in the center of the filter passband.

I'm not sure what the reason it but I have observed the same thing on my Ten Tec Scout with the variable "Jones" filter so I an inclined to believe that this is an artifact of the design / implementation of this sort of filter ...
perhaps Wayne can comment on this.
