<TFIC> Tongue Firmly in Cheek

I would like to see the spot frequency changeable in 1 Hz increments.  That way I could set it to
523 which is only "11 cents" lower than Middle C (523.25Hz).

 

For those of us who sing in choral groups, but who aren't blessed with Perfect Pitch.  Think of the
benefit of hours of CW tuned to Middle C.  At least we might start to approach getting the pitch one
note down solid!!

Cheers,

523.25 Hz is C5 - one octave above "Middle C".  Middle C is
C4 ... 261.63 Hz.  

For those with well tuned ears, A3 (220 Hz) and A4 (440 Hz)
are available as exact tones ... E4, F4, F#4, E5, F#5 can be
generated within 1 Hz and C4, D#4, G4, F5, within 2 Hz (less
than 1% error worst case).

73,

   ... Joe, W4TV

The real user requirement here seems to be able to specify spot
*tone* rather than spot frequency.

Got a few off topic replies to this one.  Joe, W4TV, pointed out that I was an octave high in
stating the frequency of "middle C".  Middle C is actually called "C4", which is 260.63Hz.  So C5 it
will have to be as the K3 SPOT only goes down to 300Hz.

Enough fun - let's put this thread to bed!!

Cheers,
