Jim, Here is an interesting story: I had a hearing test many years ago, and asked to see the results. Turns out I had a null at some frequency I don't remember right now, but it was exactly where I had selected my sidetone to be... My guess is because I heard less noise there... Anyway--

[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft

I wanted to drop a note to the Elecraft folks to thank them for all the good work they did getting ready for the "event". It was good to meet a few folks I had not, and good to get a few answers I needed. The K4 presentation was good, and glad you will have it on YouTube later... So...

Re: [Elecraft] Copying CW and Pitch

My default sidetone pitch is 440 Hz, which is plenty sufficient (for me) to discriminate between two very close signals signals, if they are not too unequal in strength. I am more interested in choosing the optimum pitch for particular filter bandwidths and QRN conditions rather than for
