Hi All, The build of 5226 continues and I have a question best answered by the serious cw dxers in the group. Which is the better audio filter for cw? AF dsp on ssb has left me at best luke warm. And I don't do that much ssb dxing if I can help it. So don't consider ssb in the answer.

I doubt it's the cover holes. I've done some testing with the top and bottom covers off while interfacing my newly built K2 to a 1500W amplifier without any problems. (QRP is fun, but sometimes...) Is your problem band sensitive? Is your antenna resonant? I would suspect grounding problem

A good starting point would be to operate into a dummy load. If there's no interference, then you're dealing with energy radiating from the antenna - not a K2 problem. If there is interference, that narrows the possibilities to the K2, the dummy load, the coax, and ... the power supply. Hope thi
