We designed the KDSP2 to improve ultimate SSB filter ultimate rejection
in the K2.
The KDSP2, with its brick wall SSB filter settings, when cascaded after
the KSB2 filter, totally eliminates any residual leakage from strong
signals outside the passband. It also tightens the net filter shape
factor. The ultimate rejection is 60-75 dB on the xtal filter, which
means a strong residual off freq. signal will not activate the K2's AGC,
allowing the DSP to do its job without signal degradation.
This is how I run my K2 and I hear no difference with strong off
frequency signal blow-by between it and the other $3K+ rigs we have in
the lab. :-)

Preferences aside about slopes and shape factors... I'd like to have
MUCH better ultimate rejection... and a true rf clipper would be a nice
addition, especially when using QRP.
