It's a long time since I used my VI+ so my recollection may not be perfect but fwiw.....

CW offset is indeed adjustable from the front panel and I believe sidetone pitch tracks CW offset. What is not adjustable is filter centering, which is fixed at 800Hz. If you're happy listening to a tone between 600-1000Hz this works fine with cascaded filters as narrow as 500Hz. However, if your preferred receive tone is 450Hz this doesn't work nearly so well. The problem is significantly exagerated if 250Hz filters are used. Years ago, a bunch of folks had filters made with lower centre frequency, so as to deal with this problem. I'm not sure but I suspect Inrad made the filters and I believe they were centred somewhere around 600Hz.

Was stated,

"The CW offset is fixed, but is adjustable with a trimmer capacitor inside.
Regarding filters, I find...(etc.)"

No, the cw offset is programmable.
