Yes, Ron, I also prefer wide bandpass for CW most of the time. Still, it would be very nice indeed on those infrequent occasions to not have to do the RIT/SHIFT mambo when using a narrow filter...
Actually, even with my typical wide open filter I think I'd use a live-signal pitch control quite often, not having to necessarilly bother with RIT or split VFOs. Seems like a natural that CW signal pitch would be a parameter that should have a dedicated control; but instead it takes several steps to accomplish. Sorry about derailing the APF topic; I think I lost track of how that was going to be implemented on the K3, but I'm looking forward to it in any case. 73, Drew AF2Z On Tue, 26 Oct 2010 08:53:08 -0700, Ron AC7AC wrote: >He wants to vary the pitch without moving the signal in the bandpass, Don. >That's a non-issue using a wide bandpass and one of the reasons I don't use >narrow filters except on rare occasions when absolutely necessary. > >With a wide pass band I can just move the VFO (I'm *always* in SPLIT mode so >TX stays on frequency.) > >Like Drew, I often shift the tone of the signal as I'm copying based on the >nature of the noise, but it's not practical to do with a very sharp filter >when straining to make out a weak signal.
