One of the reasons I never use this setting is that it seems to be a fixed 700 Hz +/- as “center” in the sound field. I much prefer CW closer to 500 Hz, which always ends up putting the tuned signal in my left ear with this option (and no I’m not terribly hard of hearing in this frequency range).
Have I missed another setting option somewhere? If not, it would be a worthwhile KX3 (and K3?) enhancement to have the AFX Pitch “center” follow the CW Pitch setting of the radio to actually make this function useful. The CW Binaural option on the TT Orion opened up a very spacious left-right soundstage that made it easy to copy a “centered” CW signal in crowded band conditions even at wider filter settings. You could literally point to every signal … My K3 isn’t hooked up right now (shack is currently a table on my patio), so I’m not sure if it behaves the same way. In any case redoing the AFX Pitch algorithm would be a very worthwhile enhancement.
