    Decrease sidetone pitch steps

    Currently, the sidetone pitch step-size is 50 Hz, which IMHO is too large. I think 10 Hz would be much more 'ear friendly'.

          If necessary you can adjust manually by entering the desired tone frequency.  Mine is at
      385 Hz. and usually stays there, but having 5 Hz steps would be neat, just  to get in the
      ballpark.

      Hi Ned,

      Thanks for pointing that out.  I had forgotten that was  possible by direct entry. Good call.

      Steve,

      Entering an absolute pitch frequency works -- IF you know ahead of time what that pitch should be. But if you don't, it's very useful to be able fine-tune the pitch empirically by shifting it up and down until you find the pitch that works for your *system*; that system being your headphones, or speakers and room acoustics, and always, your ears. For years, my optimum pitch was 600 Hz., however, I've discovered that I now have a very sharp hi-Q null at that frequency -- probably from 48 years or so of CW at a pitch of 600 Hz ;-)  So, I've had to find a new preferred pitch  (that process can take a lot of experimentation) and ended up with 480 Hz. 

      Ned -- I agree that 5 Hz steps would be even better than the 10 Hz that I had suggested.
