I've been using a sidetone pitch of 800 Hz on my K2/100 for years, but more recently thought I might prefer something a bit lower. Running alongside a Drake R4C receiver, I've been experimenting with a homebrew CW transmitter over the past month that includes a sidetone oscillator. I adjusted the pitch of the sidetone for something that "sounded about right" to my ears and left it at that. Last weekend I decided to measure the frequency of the sidetone and found it was within 1 Hz of 800! I suppose I've been listening to CW at 800 Hz for so long, I just committed the pitch it to memory. :-) 73 de John, KD2BD ______________________________________________________________ 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
