If you want to go lower than 300 Hz for your preferred cw pitch you could offset the RIT for the lower tone then compensate with SHIFT to bring it back to the center of the filter. A keyswitch macro could do this automatically if you hve a set pitch in mind, say 270.
It would be nice if there were commands to increment and decrement RIT and SHIFT. Then you could write a macro to adjust the pitch of a signal throughout a range while keeping it in the center of the filter. Or, better yet, an optional RIT mode that would make SHIFT automatically track changes in RIT. Say, if you "detune" the RIT by 30 Hz, the SHIFT would automatically follow to 270 Hz (assuming PITCH setting is 300). 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 23 Oct 2013 04:25:23 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: > >Many years ago I discovered 270 Hz was my personal optimum pitch for copying >very weak signals on the low bands.
