Well I would avoid that idiot like the plague.
One thing that happens as we get older is, we start listening to lower
tones.
I would say I typically listen 100 or 150 hz lower than I used to when I was
much younger.
Some people I know prefer listening to 400 hz.
You need to adjust your sidetone pitch for the frequency you like to hear.
The CW offset will follow.
So indeed it is possible that you are listening to 600 hz instead of 700 hz
and really are 100 hz off.
Go into the CW menu, where you can adjust cw speed, sidetone level STL, and
sidetone frequency STF. In the STF menu, tweak the multi knob for the tone
you prefer listening to.
Now every time you tune to that tone on a signal on the air, you will be
very close to zerobeat.
If the guy still claims you are off, then he has a problem; he's trying to
be holier than the pope..

Subject: [TenTec] Eagle and Zero Beating
I hope some of the Eagle experts out there can help me.(???) I am tired of
running into a certain W6 on CW who keeps telling me I am 100hz high and why
can't I zero beat his signal.
I operate CW only and I have been CW only since 1963. No SSB at all. Don't
want to go there.
This guy is telling me I don't know how to operate my gear. I probably could
not hear the 100 cycle difference even if I was able to use a separate RX!
My hearing is not that good anymore!
Anyway-tell me a way to use the Eagle so I can zero beat a received CW
signal. Is there a way? This guy was going on and on about me using the RIT
AFTER I was zero beat if I wanted to hear a different pitch.
How can I do that If I don't know if I am zero beat?
This is probably a question with no definitive answer but any help would be
appreciated. Give me a step by step and I will certainly try it!
Thanks!!
