Brett, I'm not suggesting that offset pitch and sidetone pitch be different. They are the same.
I'm suggesting that sometimes you want to adjust this pitch by listening to the sidetone and sometimes you want to adjust it by listening to the received signal. Currently you can't hear the signal while you adjust PITCH-- the received audio is blocked. Why would you want to vary the signal pitch? Because a different pitch can provide better copy under different reception condtions. But it's pretty hard to tell what that optimum pitch might be without listening to the signal as you adjust it, right? Now, you can vary the VFO in order to change the signal's pitch, but then you have detuned it. I want to vary the pitch of a signal without detuning it. The K3 can do this, only it doesn't let us hear the signal while doing it. 73, Drew AF2Z On Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:50:15 -0700, Brett Howard wrote: >Sidetone pitch and signal pitch should always be the same.
