Here is what I have done.
First, I noticed a problem when monitoring W1AW.
When tuned to 14.0475 ( or 7.0475) I noticed that to maximize the receive audio, I had to tune .3 kHz off freq, using the RIT, to gain a significant increase in audio. (I can gain 2-3 s-units by doing this.) Because of the narrow CW filter the passband tuning will not compensate for this.
Am I missing something here?
I have studied the operators manual but find only one reference to setting the sidetone.
This is that the sidetone may be set to the users preference. (3-8.1)
Using another transceiver and a frequency counter, I set the other transceiver to transmit exactly on 7.000 mHz. then using the Paragon set to 7.000 mHz I compared the side tone to the offset tone of the Paragon and set the sidetone,
to sound the same (by ear)???
I am still not able to get the receive audio maximized using the passband tuning. I have to use the RIT. However, when I do this the audio signal is at a higher frequency than I am comfortable with.
Again what am I missing here.
Thanks For your assistance.
Chuck
