Lou:

What I have done here is set my sidetone pitch frequency to 500 HZ, in line
with what Lloyd suggested earlier.  Then, when I match the frequency of the
incoming CW signal with my 500 HZ sidetone pitch frequency, it seems to zero
beat.  In other words, the pitch  of the in-coming signal in normal CW now
matches the pitch when in CW reverse.

Even though my frequency tones weren't that far off in the first place, All
of this has certainly been a great learning experience for me, and I hope
others on the list.

Tom,

When you compare the 2 sidebands on a CW signal, are you first zero-beating
by matching the incoming signal to the pitch of your sidetone? I tried this
tonight with the K3 and as long as I'm zero-beat, the pitch is the same on
either sideband. If I'm off, it varies which makes sense since you're
switching from one side of center to the other but if you're not zero-beat
you'll be in different spots relative to center. I hope that makes sense to
you because I can barely wrap this aging brain around it. Good luck. Lou
