I use CWT to ensure that I do NOT zero beat the caller. I want my signal to be at a tone noticeably above or below that of everyone else (very important to QRP op in a pileup). I haven't tried to quantify the hz/bar, I simply tune to around 5 ticks away and it seems to work well.

Can you hear a 25 Hz pitch difference when it's hot on the short wave bands? If so, congratulations! You can admit it if you used a frequency counter. In my opinion CWT is a very good tool to get close to another station quickly. And no one realy no one has complained to me in a QSO so far that I was 25 Hz away from his transmitting frequency. 73/72 de Ingo, DK3RED - Don't forget: the fun is the power! www.qrp4fun.de - dk3...@qrp4fun.de ______________________________________________________________ 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 ktalb...@gamewood.net ______________________________________________________________ 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
