In the same manner, I like to tune into a CW signal by hearing the pitch
drop as I tune into it. My TS-850SAT has the "CW-R" feature that reverses
the sideband on CW. So I usually start off doing S&P by tuning up the
band from the bottom in normal CW mode, working everyone I can, then
switching to CW-R mode and tuning down the band, etc.
