Exactly...it depends on whether the DX station is receiving CW in USB or
LSB. BTW I've often wondered which is most predominant for contesters.
Since the K3 is normally in LSB, I suppose that's a good assumption given

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.

It's been many decades since the sideband used for CW switched with the USB
/LSB convention (above
One of the "features" of using LSB convention for receiving CW is that
when you tune the dial to a lower frequency the pitch of the received
audio gets lower.
In fact, that was the old timer's test back in the day of
non-single-signal receivers... if you tuned to a lower frequency and the
pitch
Hi Rich - a very lucid reply, and you apparently understood what I was
saying, despite my "RIT" mis-statement.
For some reason, I was operating under the mistaken impression that the
sideband used for CW followed the sideband convention for SSB. I went
straight to the Cady book, unfortunately

Hi Pete,
In CW mode, the K3 reads the actual transmitted frequency. Since normal
CW uses lower sideband on the K3, this means that on 3507.2 in normal CW
mode, with the pitch set at 500 Hz the suppressed carrier frequency is
3507.7 kHz (500 Hz above the signal frequency). If you change the pit
Pete.
All Elecraft radios that I know about display the transmitted carrier
frequency in CW and the suppressed carrier frequency in SSB mode.
Your sidetone pitch setting is related to properly tuning a CW signal
and knowing its frequency. If you tune the received signal to a pitch
