I'm having a hard time getting my head around this. My radio is on 3507.02 USB-CW, with a 500 Hz Pitch setting. I change the Pitch setting to 300 Hz, and the display still reads 3507.02. What is this frequency? The suppressed-carrier frequency plus the CW pitch? Does that mean that when I change the pitch, the radio is actually moving its frequency a little bit?

A somewhat related question. Same setup, but listening to a signal on the air. "Beat note" is ~500 Hz. I turn the RIT so that the received signal is lower frequency - say 200 Hz. I transmit. What does the station on the other end hear, assuming he is also using USB-CW? Does my "beat note" go up in his receiver, or down?

Sorry to be dim.
