KX3 - setting sidetone pitch

[Ken Alexander-2]

I'm having trouble selecting the sidetone pitch I want.  The KX3 came
pre-set at 550 Hz, which is a little low for my ears.  My K2 was set to
650 and that worked well.

All the KX3 manual says (p. 16) is "The receiver's passband will be
centered at the pitch you select"...but not a word on how to select the
pitch I want!  I pressed PITCH and tried rotating the VFO A and B dials
but moving them does nothing except kick you out of pitch mode.

I thought it might be a Menu setting (that's where I'd put it because
it's a set-and-forget function for me) but there's nothing there either.

How does one specify the sidetone frequency they want?

Thanks and 73,

Ken Alexander

Press "PITCH" (under "CMP") so that the pitch frequency appears in the
"B" display, and turn the KEYER/MIC/PWR button to adjust the pitch.

Ken,

Press Pitch and and rotate the knob above the button.
