Phil, I would try both and somewhere in between. Best will be the frequency where your hearing peaks, optimum will consider other things, but you will still be able to hear. Adjust your volume and practice at the best frequency and see if you can make it optimum as well. You may be able to change optimum, but probably not the best frequency.

Best is not the same as optimum? That puzzles me.

After changing it, I copy CW much better. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to wrco...@yahoo.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
