Assuming your modern rig is properly calibrated, if you match your sidetone
to his signal tone, you should be right on top of him regardless of which
sideband you're using. My earlier Kenwood rigs used USB for CW, but my ICOM
and TT used LSB. I don't know about Yaesu.

Subject: [TenTec] CW-N versus CW-R
Thanks to those who helped me align my OMNI VI+ BFO trimmers and TCXO.
Without a frequency counter I would have been SUNK even though I have been
able to perform the operation on other rigs with just an external receiver.
While testing I noticed that OMNI VI+ is hearing the same CW signal at the
same frequency and tone as the FT2000 does when setup for CW receive on
lower sideband.
Anyone know in general what "most" transceivers consider as the "Normal"
sideband to receive on CW?
OMNI VI+ is fixed.
When calling a station back from his CQ, assuming you always tune for a
700hz received note, it seems that you would be coming back to the sender on
a slightly different frequency if receiving him on CW-LSB as compared to
CW-USB.
Understand the transmitter always sends both sidebands. ;-)
Any ideas?
