You are both right here, the K2 in CW normal mode, tunes upwards in beat on the low bands (160m - 17m) and tunes down in beat on the higher bands. This is due to the K2's mixing schem with low side injection for the higher bands. But the K2 remebers the CW/CWr setting per band, so I have mine set up for CWr for 15-10 meters, and CW normal for the other bands. In this way it always tunes up in beat for an increase in frequency as the default.

In CW mode, the pitch of the received signal becomes higher as you tune to a higher frequency. In CWr, the pitch goes lower as the tuned frequency goes higher. If you want a 'mental memo' you might think that in CWreverse, the signal pitch is the 'reverse' of the tuning direction. > -----Original Message----- > > Unless I have it backwards, when you are tuning in on a signal > "normal" CW will tune from the high side to zero beat, in reverse > you'll start hearing the signal on the low side (ie the signal is at > 7.025, you will start hearing it around 7.0243 at a high pitch) Julius > n2wn > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
