While trying to work D64K the other night on 20m CW with the filters
tightened down to about 100Hz around D64K (to filter out the typical tuner-uppers, 'up'-cops, and stations calling on or nearly on frequency) I wished that there was a way to offset the sidetone frequency just a bit so that it wasn't the same as the filter center frequency. This issue is that when operating fast QSK where the DX station is tightly centered in the filter bandpass, my own sidetone gets in the way of being able to hear the DX station since the frequency is the same. If the sidetone could be offset 50 to 100 Hz above or below the filter center frequency, this masking would no longer occur. Any chance that this capability already exists and I just haven't discovered it yet? 73, Dale WA8SRA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
FWIW, I would also like that feature.
Would also like being able to adjust the pitch of a received signal for optimal copy without moving it in the passband. (You can do this indirectly with PITCH, except you can't listen to the actual signal while you are adjusting it; only the sidetone. Even if you turn MON to zero, there are still no signals audible while PITCH is engaged.) 73, Drew AF2Z On Sat, 11 Aug 2012 10:41:57 -0400, Dale wrote: >While trying to work D64K the other night on 20m CW with the filters >tightened down to about 100Hz around D64K (to filter out the typical >tuner-uppers, 'up'-cops, and stations calling on or nearly on >frequency) I wished that there was a way to offset the sidetone >frequency just a bit so that it wasn't the same as the filter center >frequency.
