Pete,

When receiving in CW-USB and you tune to a lower pitch, you will be tuning to a higher frequency. If the receiving station is also using CW-USB, the pitch in his receiver will go up.
I just verified that on the test bench.

I'm sorry I misled everyone with my mistake, writing "RIT". Imeant the *main tuning knob*, so both transmit and receive frequencies are being changed. Try re-reading the question this way:

Same setup, but listening to a signal on the air. "Beat note" is ~500 Hz. I turn the main tuning knob 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?

What I'm trying to understand is this. I've clicked on a cluster spot. So have a lot of other people, so they are all in a pile +/- 10 Hz. If I tune down (frequency and beat note, both) what does the station I'm calling hear? Is my perceived beat note also lower in his RX, or is it higher? I think it is the former, butwould like confirmation or correction.
